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 would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.

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.

If I'm going to produce something, it's going to be with somebody I think is special. Once I go beyond a handful of directors, like Scorsese, there are very few I want to work with.

Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all time.

I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen.

Everybody wants you to do this thing that you've always been doing forever. That's what they want: they want Martin Scorsese to make the same film two hundred times rather than trying to be something different.

Martin Scorsese, everything he does, I've got to see. And Jack Nicholson, I've got to see what he does.

I can't help but have my sights set on Scorsese, Cohen Brothers and Spike Jones.
