And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture.

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.

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

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

If I knew that, I'd fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren't supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn't work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner next time.

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.

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