Your job is to get your audience to care about your obsessions.

I go through periods, usually when I'm editing and shooting, of seeing only old films.

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again.

If I'm not complaining, I'm not having a good time, hah hah!

I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don't know how to light it. And I realize it's because I didn't grow up with light. I grew up in tenements.

The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.

I know there were many good policemen who died doing their duty. Some of the cops were even friends of ours. But a cop can go both ways.
