My agent in London says all New York films are wonderful if they're really New York films because they're like travelogues.

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.

I love filming in New York. I love New York movies, too. I just like it when people can take New York and make it their own, because there are so many different New Yorks.

I really fight hard to make things film where they're supposed to be filmed. If something is supposed to be in New York, then it has to be in New York.

It is possible to work out of New York on film and television and still not lose your connection to theater.

If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.

As a kid, my dad would take me to see indie films when I would visit him in New York. Films that I just wouldn't see growing up in the Bay Area.

I go to New York to see live shows, not movies.

Well, it's a little harder in New York. It's not as forgiving to a film crew. You hold up a bunch of New Yorkers who can't cross the street, they're not going to take it well. Southern California? They'll wait. It's cool man. In New York, they're like, 'Are you kidding me? I gotta get to work.'

I moved to LA and decided to do films and television, mainly because the theater in New York is totally dead.
