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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
