Zitat des Tages von Abel Ferrara:
I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.
Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door.
But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.
Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
My life is proof that I don't need you to do what I do. If there's no one to see it, I'll watch it.
I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.
It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.
Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don't find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
I don't care if I get $50m to do a film.
I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
As an old-time New Yorker, it's not that I miss the '70s and '80s or whatever. I miss the fact that there was a certain kind of energy that exists when people can live for nothing.
No one can stop me from talking about my movie.
The last day of your life is still going to be a day.
It's only Western civilization that, God forbid, you talk about dying, when it's the only thing we know for certain, right? Everyone's going to die, so what's the big problem? 'Oh, God. Don't talk about it. Don't think about it.' I mean, I'm one of them. I'm not a big fan of talking about dying.
