Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.

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.

Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all 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.

In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.

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

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

When Scorsese shoots a violent scene, it's very uncomfortable - it's not like watching 'Rambo.'

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.

I said to Martin Scorsese, 'When are you going to make another film with a woman at the center?'
