More quotes by 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

Abel Ferrara

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
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
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
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
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.
