More quotes by Abel Ferrara
I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
Abel Ferrara
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
Abel Ferrara
Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door.
Abel Ferrara
I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.
Abel Ferrara
I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
Abel Ferrara
Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.
Abel Ferrara
It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.
Abel Ferrara
The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.
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'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
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
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 know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.
Abel Ferrara
The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this 'I, me, mine' type of thing.
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
My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.
Abel Ferrara
But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.
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
