Trivia
Originally attended college to become a Graphic Arts major. After
seeing Martin Scorsese's film Mean Streets (1973), he was inspired to become a Film major
instead. When the school informed him that he couldn't switch majors
without repeating his first year's studies, he decided to drop out and
ended up writing his first film, Wise Guys (1986), which took five years to get
produced.
Quotes
Eventually, I came to understand that all of the arts are intertwined. That composition in painting is the same as structure in storytelling; that characters are the same as colors; that colors are the same as chords in music.
