Martin Scorsese
I happen to like vampires more than zombies.
Martin Scorsese
There are times when you have to face your enemies, sit down and deal with it.
Martin Scorsese

And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.
