The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

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.

I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest, I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.

The real truth, I thought, in terms of what faith is and what Christianity is.

And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things.

I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.

I have a desire to tell stories. And I'm never quite satisfied.
