Peter Bogdanovich is a good friend.

I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because unfortunately people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.

When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.

Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.

I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.

A film set becomes its own family anyway, and all family dynamics come out during a shoot. The trick is hiring people who know how to handle that.

I try to procrastinate, if I can, productively, like I'll work on something else as procrastination. Or I take a walk. Because often I find, if you get out, more things come to you.
