All The Movies That I Make In

With 'taxi Driver,' I Had This Eureka Moment. I Realized That Acting Could Be Much More Than What I Had Been Doing. I Had To Build A Character That Wasn't Me.

I Was Raised With A Single Mom And We Had A Very Specific, Very Particular Relationship. She Worked With Me And My Job. I Was Almost Three And We Traveled Everywhere Together And She Was Really In My Life In A Really Profound Way. The Most Significant Relationship Of My Life. It Was Beautiful And Also An Incredible, Difficult Struggle. I Know How Creative That Life Is, And How Difficult It Is To Figure It Out.

There's Absolutely No Sort Of Acknowledgment Or Reward For This - Except For The Intangible Of My Kids Growing Up To Be Wonderful People.

I Was One Of Those Avid Moviegoers As A Kid, And We Didn't Have Video, So We Went To See Everything Five Times. I Went To See Every Foreign Film Playing In My Town. As Times Went On, I Watched A Lot Less Films. I Have A Different Film School Now. My Film School Now Is My Life Experience.

I Prefer To Commit 100 Per Cent To A Movie And Make Fewer Films, Because It Takes Over Your Life.
