At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

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