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

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.

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

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.

As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.

New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper.

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