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

But at the same time, never having final cut before, I really learned an interesting thing for any studio executive who is reading this: that if a director has final cut, it's actually easier and more interesting to listen to notes.

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

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

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

I'm being told it saves money to shoot in Toronto, because of tax benefits, the crews are cheaper, but what I save in the bottom line, I lose in a million other ways.

I met Steve McQueen once. Well, met isn't really the right word.
