Always Get To The Set Or The

I'm Obsessed With New York. I Just Find It So Remarkable. You Really Treasure This City When You Go To Different Countries And You See That There Is No Mix. When You Get Back To The City, It's Such An Exciting Place.

I Always Wanted To Make A Film That Had This Sort Of Chinese-box Effect, In Which You Keep Opening It Up And Opening It Up, And Finally At The End You're At The Beginning.

I Grew Up Within Italian-american Neighborhoods, Everybody Was Coming Into The House All The Time, Kids Running Around, That Sort Of Stuff, So When I Finally Got Into My Own Area, So To Speak, To Make Films, I Still Carried On.

People Say You Should Do It This Way, Someone Else Suggests That, Yes, There's Financing, But Maybe You Should Use This Actor. And There Are The Threats, At The End - If You Don't Do It This Way, You'll Lose Your Box Office; If You Don't Do It That Way, You'll Never Get Financed Again... 35, 40 Years Of This, You Get Beat Up.

I Love Movies - It's My Whole Life, And That's It.
