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

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

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].

My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound.

I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.

To see a comedy in an environment where you're surrounded by other people that are laughing is great. That's probably more satisfying than just watching it by yourself.

Every time I act in something, I learn something about what the director is doing. One feeds the other.
