"You don't really need to go to film school to learn how to watch a film. You can learn everything you need to know with your eyes. The only way you really learn is to make a film. You have to have an obsessive nature, I think. You have to want to make the film more than anything else in life, I'm sorry to say...I received two short film scholarships; that was very important. Then my parents said, ‘Maybe he's not that crazy since there are people who really like the picture."

But I really think it was through American musicals and the use of camera movement by Fellini, and the freedom of the camera in the French New Wave. I think it has more to do with choreography."

"We came from the same New York neighborhood but hung out on different streets,---We can finish each other's sentences and understand things that are not said.--It's like a professional marriage, and the offspring are the movies."
