I've got "Sometimers." Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.

Surprises are good. I'm not of the thinking where you tell the audience everything. Sometimes I don't even want to see the trailers. You see the trailer, you've seen the movie.

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.

There’s always been this hocus-pocus or magical, mystical thing associated with the making of film that sort of psyches people out and makes them think that this cannot be done; that this is a craft that cannot be learned.

When you love something it's not a job anymore.

I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.

I don't really analyze my stuff when I write. I write about stuff that I'm interested in, that I'm feeling at that particular time. When I stand back and look at the complete work, I might see themes that run through the whole film, but I'm not really conscious of it when I'm doing it.
