The smaller films just take a longer period of time to build their fan base because people don't see them as soon as they come out in the theater. They see them, after a period of years.

I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.

I love directing - it's always so involving, so challenging.

People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

Early in my career, people wanted to pigeonhole me as the bad guy because I'm of Italian-American descent, which they often were when I started out. You have to fight against it. One of the things that helps is the ability to do comedy.

Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way.

A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.
