More quotes by Abel Ferrara
The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.
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
Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?
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
Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.
Abel Ferrara
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
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
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
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.
