More quotes by Abel Ferrara
Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.
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
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
I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.
Abel Ferrara
Certain actors wanna get paid, they think working in a low-budget movie is being ripped off. But for others it's like, 'Yes, let's do it.'
Abel Ferrara
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
Abel Ferrara
The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.
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
No one can stop me from talking about my movie.
Abel Ferrara
A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.
Abel Ferrara

Abel Ferrara
As barbaric is we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.
Abel Ferrara
I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.
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
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
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
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
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
My life is proof that I don't need you to do what I do. If there's no one to see it, I'll watch it.
Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
