Abel Ferrara's Quotes

As barbaric as we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.
Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?
I'm about my characters.
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.
