Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.

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

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.

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

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

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