I've always been a big fan of Stephen King, especially in my teenage years.

It's like my second home, 'It.' And I would like to return to it, because I feel very comfortable with it, and I have an understanding of it, and I'm passionate about it.

A movie is very different when you're writing the script and you're building a story compared to what the final product is.

At the beginning when you're writing and building the beats of the story, everything that you put in there seems very essential to the story. However, when you have the movie finally edited and it's 4 four hours long, you realise that some of the events and some of the beats can be easily lifted but the essence of the story remains intact.

I think maintaining relationships with my friends, my mother, my manager, they're all important.

Every now and then you get a nice Jewish kid who likes black people and they would come in, and it would be a stream of them, and have black friends and really feel the black struggle on the acting tip and it's a reason why all of us are not dying in the movie.

I had very few friends. There was nobody I could trust. I left home when I was fifteen. I lived in Washington Square Park.

One of my dearest friends is alive only because of AA. But it doesn't help a lot of people. And everyone is different, and everyone needs different kinds of treatments.
