More quotes by Abel Ferrara

Abel Ferrara
The last day of your life is still going to be a day.
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.

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
I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.
Abel Ferrara
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
Abel Ferrara

Abel Ferrara
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
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
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
No one can stop me from talking about my movie.
Abel Ferrara
