Never take no for an answer. It took me 20 years between the time I wrote my first screenplay and the time I actually got money to direct a movie.

I'm quite neurotic, usually. But when it comes to work, I become extremely focused.

Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.

I want to be positive and say: everything I've written will get made eventually.

I actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.

I find most films about fashion terrible because they are caricaturish.

I love the acting process. What I don't like is what's around it. The auditions and being rejected every other day. The look thing. That you have to lose weight, that you have to do Botox.
