Abel Ferrara

Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
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
As barbaric is we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.
Abel Ferrara
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
Abel Ferrara
Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?
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.
