I never went to work on a movie set until I was a producer and director.

You never know what to expect when you're a writer visiting a movie set.

Eccentric behavior is not routinely noticed around a movie set.

We never left a set until we'd trashed it.

I travel light as a director. I don't have monitors on my set.

Out of all the neighborhoods in Manhattan, Soho in particular had the charged atmosphere of a movie set, populated with passersby who looked like extras from Central Casting, so perfectly did they fit into this environment. There was the feeling of everything being not quite real, or too perfectly cliched to actually be true, and it began to rain in a fine, misty drizzle from a black patent leather sky.
