That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
Abel Ferrara
Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.
Abel Ferrara
I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself. You're taught not to think too deeply about things.
