My films really have to be a part of a whole body of work that says something to me.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

There was always a part of me that wanted to be an old-time director. But I couldn't do that. I'm not a pro.

I can't really envision a time when I'm not shooting something.

I'm obsessed with New York. I just find it so remarkable. You really treasure this city when you go to different countries and you see that there is no mix. When you get back to the city, it's such an exciting place.

I'm trying to find out what the hell we - who we are.

I accept all awards. I like them.
