More quotes by Abel Ferrara
I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
Abel Ferrara
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
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

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

Abel Ferrara
The last day of your life is still going to be a day.
Abel Ferrara

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
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 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 come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.
Abel Ferrara
I don't want to live anywhere where I'm breathing two million cars' fumes and paying a zillion dollars for the right to be totally hassled.
Abel Ferrara
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
Abel Ferrara
A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.
Abel Ferrara
I grew up in the Bronx. I'm into rap music.
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
I'm about my characters.
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
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
