From Griffin Dunne
But at the same time, never having final cut before, I really learned an interesting thing for any studio executive who is reading this: that if a director has final cut, it's actually easier and more interesting to listen to notes.
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.
In the '80s, I can't say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios.
I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.
I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.
I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.
And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture.
I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working.
Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
