More quotes by Abel Ferrara
A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.
Abel Ferrara
I'm in a house where if the washing machine shuts off, it sings a song. If iPad gets a message, it sings a song. I'm living in a real postmodern time - every single thing sings to you to tell you it's started, it's stopped, you've got a message, you didn't get a message.
Abel Ferrara
But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.
Abel Ferrara
With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get.
Abel Ferrara
I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
Abel Ferrara
A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.
Abel Ferrara
I don't want to live anywhere where I'm breathing two million cars' fumes and paying a zillion dollars for the right to be totally hassled.
Abel Ferrara
My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.
Abel Ferrara
My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.
Abel Ferrara
I grew up in the '60s, which was a creative time, so it wasn't that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera.
Abel Ferrara
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
Abel Ferrara
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
Abel Ferrara
The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this 'I, me, mine' type of thing.
Abel Ferrara
It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.
Abel Ferrara
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
Abel Ferrara
I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.
Abel Ferrara
I don't need to push myself. I don't need to sharpen my own knife and slit my throat. I'm trying to chill it and find an equilibrium and a balance to my work.
Abel Ferrara
My grandfather lived to be 96 years old. He was born in a town outside of Salerno in Southern Italy. He came to New York when he was 20. He lived in the States from age 20 to 96, but he brought his culture with him, he brought his food with him, he brought his language with him, he never spoke a word of English.
Abel Ferrara
The world is constantly changing. You're constantly learning and you have to be willing to get off your mark, and get off your spot and take that knowledge you have not to fix yourself into a place but to keep going.
Abel Ferrara
The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.
Abel Ferrara
