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

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

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.

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

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

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.
