I love working with actors. I love to see what they're going to do. There's just something very thrilling and satisfying with being involved with something, all the way through the process [making movie].

If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.

I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early 80s.

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.

I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.

I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working.

When you're directing, I feel like I'm playing all the parts, without the make-up. I really get into the heads of the characters.
