The More Confidence You Have In Yourself

The Way I Survived Growing Up In Jersey City Was By Being Funny. It Wasn't By Being Tough. Nobody Thought Of Me As A Tough Kid, Except For The Kids I Beat Up.

I Used To Go Over To My Friend's House And We'd Watch Vcr Tapes, Three Of Them A Day, And I Was Like, "i Could Come Up With Better Stories Than This." And I've Wanted To Write Films Ever Since.

I Think There Are Three Types Of Actors. There Are The Ones That Do The Ego Thing, Which Is "i'm Never Going To Look Bad In A Movie, Ever." This Is Mostly The Action Film Dudes, Like, "nah, Hell No. He Ain't Punchin' Me! I'd Whoop His Ass!" Then You've Got The Activist Type Who Bases Their Decisions In The Development Of A Character On What It Symbolizes To Society - What The Ethical Code Is. And Then The Third Type Is A True Thespian Who Doesn't Give A Flying Rat's Ass What It Is As Long As It's Deep, Powerful, And Painful, And They Will Dive In Headfirst. I Really Respect Those People.

The Best Part Of Making The Movies... Learning From The Pros Themselves.

I'm Stubborn. I'm Hardheaded. I Don't Do What I Don't Want To Do.
