More quotes by Abel Ferrara

Abel Ferrara
There's a difference between the world ending tomorrow and just drinking and drugging yourself to death.
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
The last day of your life is still going to be a day.
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
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
A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.
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

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
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.
Abel Ferrara
I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
Abel Ferrara
