I know how to read people. When you grow up in a rough environment, you have to have a sixth sense.

There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.

I never do anything that doesn't feel natural to me. I wake up in the morning and I know what to put on - it's my sixth sense, really.

A film like 'The Sixth Sense' burns an image of who you are into people's minds.

I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There's a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There's a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There's a sixth sense you develop just because it's New York.

I didn't make 'The Sixth Sense' because I thought the ending wouldn't work!
