Quote

When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That's because it's scary and it's inviting.

I like dark places.

Many places in the Bronx seem hidden in shadows, just as the Bronx itself is in Manhattan's shadow. And dark stories develop best in dark shadows.

Not all of our work is dark, but when we are working on a dark project, we really tend to go there.

In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.

New York feels vibrant... It feels electric to walk the streets at night.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

This is my favorite area in New York - the West Village is the heart of New York. I could never move somewhere else.

In my real life I live in the countryside, I walk a lot, I shoot clay pigeons, I don't get involved in the film business or anything, and then in my cinematic life, I think I am drawn to the dark side.

I have always been a dark writer.
