When I am in New York, I want to be in Europe, and when I am in Europe, I want to be in New York.

Some guy hit my fender, and I told him, 'Be fruitful and multiply,' but not in those words.

You look up after many years and you find that a film has become a classic because it's meaningful to people and alive, decade after decade.

Film is more of novelty, because I've done so much theater over many years. I'm in love with making movies. Also, I find it easier to remember three minutes of dialogue than three hours.

I'd like to make a great movie. I've made many movies. I think I've made some good movies, but I never felt I've made a great movie.

For some reason I've always had an irrational love for New York. There's no reason that you would necessarily like it on paper. It's very expensive.

If you aren't failing every now and then, you're probably playing it too safe.
