Abel Ferrara
I'm about my characters.
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
Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don't find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

Abel Ferrara
When I talk about drugs and alcohol, I'm talking about sex addiction, gambling addiction, eating addiction, throwing-up addiction. I'm not talking about mental illness.
