Working on 'The Last Waltz' introduced me to Martin Scorsese, and I had been a movie bug since I was a young kid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For years after 'The Last Waltz,' I got all kinds of silly movie offers - or, maybe, not silly, but parts that are not my calling... lots of offers to play some wonderful boyfriend.
Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all time.
I grew up on Mel Brooks films. That was film to me until I got a little bit older and realised there were other kinds of movies.
I worked on a film short with Frank Sinatra when I was a kid.
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.
Martin Scorsese, everything he does, I've got to see. And Jack Nicholson, I've got to see what he does.
Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
I wrote and directed a movie called 'Two - Bit Waltz'. We just wrapped. It was a blast, blast, blast.
I wrote and directed a movie called 'Two-Bit Waltz.'
When I was filming 'The Outsiders,' my idea of success was getting the next Martin Scorsese movie.
