I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're a director, and you look at Scorsese's work, he's always challenging us to push the envelope and break the rules. Someone like that is necessary and a godsend.
I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.
When Scorsese shoots a violent scene, it's very uncomfortable - it's not like watching 'Rambo.'
Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all time.
Scorsese would talk to me about this movie 'The Heiress' with Olivia de Havilland. We were talking about this scene in it, and suddenly we were rolling. It was very intentional, and I didn't realize - because we talk old movies all the time.
Show me a Scorsese film, and I'll show you a movie where he's taken risks. It's just his nature. He's an artist, and artists take risks. He always does what he believes in.
I said to Martin Scorsese, 'When are you going to make another film with a woman at the center?'
It's interesting to help someone find their vocabulary. There would not have been a De Niro without a Scorsese.
Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.
I think the obvious answer is I was raised in New York City, so growing up, not only myself but my family, like my father, we would watch a lot of Scorsese films.
