More quotes by Abel Ferrara
Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?
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
A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.
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 direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.
Abel Ferrara
A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.
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
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
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
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
Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.
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.
Abel Ferrara
Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door.
Abel Ferrara
Even if you're a poet sitting in your room writing a poem, you're still in the world - although I guess being a poet is a different than having to deal with 40 or 50 people to raise a couple million bucks and all that bullshit.
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
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
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.
Abel Ferrara
I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
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.
