Like all art forms, film is a media as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; the only difference is that war destroys and film inspires.

In a way "Drive" is probably the greatest superhero movie ever made.

The vibe, it's that excitement. New York, you just can't describe it. You get a similar thing from Paris and London, but it's not New York.

Filmmaking is like any kind of art form. You have to try to figure it out, and you're going to do that by trying. It's like teaching a child to walk. It may start by walking, but eventually it will fall. And I have kids, but I know that that will enable them to stand up again and understand why they fell, and how they can avoid that. They will walk better and faster, and stronger. Filmmaking is the same.

Cinema is mass media, it is both overtly gross and exciting. It is our great mirror of society.

Sometimes you can play against type, or you can just repeat what they've already done. It can be an obstacle; it's a very fine line.

Actually, there was one sequence but Liv didn't put this in but at the end of the movie, we ran out of money. Literally, ran out. And I couldn't make payroll. So I emptied all our accounts to make payroll. We were kinda like, "What do we do?" Then out of the blue, we were saved by Gucci. So it's always been like, you just gotta reach for the stars and hopefully the moon will catch you.
