New York is my home and I have a particular fondness for it. I think it's a place where you can generate any kind of story wonderfully. But I also would be very happy to make a film in Paris or Rome.

I don't think my film style has changed. I'm doing the same kind of jokes I did when I was younger.

I don't why whatever works and whatever doesn't. You just make the film that you enjoy making at the time, and you think there's a good chance that people might enjoy the story. You're surprised pleasantly when they do. It's just luck.

My grammy never gave gifts, you know. She was too busy getting raped by Cossacks.

I have great faith in the actors. When they improvise, it always sounds better than the stuff I write in my bedroom. When they improvise, they make it sound alive.

In short, the best thing to do is behave in a manner befitting one's age. If you are sixteen or under, try not to go bald.

I'm afraid of the dark,and suspicious of the light.
