The most important thing is the script.
I love movies - it's my whole life, and that's it.
I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.
I've been to North Africa many times.
I wish I could play music. I think I get as closeas possible with the editing of the films. Over the years musichas been an even more important influence than-or as important as-film.There's no doubt about it. Painting, movement, dance, sculpture-it'sall in cinema.
I tried for about two semesters in a preparatory seminary. But I was about 15 and didn't fully understand what a vocation means.
