Personal Quote:
[on De Palma (2015)] Noah [Noah Baumbach] and Jake [Jake Paltrow'] were interested in this new digital camera, so Jake bought one. They wanted to make a record of all these stories that I'd told them over the years when we'd had dinner together, so they sat me down in Jake's living room. Jake operated the camera, Noah did the sound, and they would just ask me questions. [2016] See more »Trivia:
Has said that Scarface (1983) and Body Double (1984) are the two films of his that have been attacked the most. Dressed to Kill (1980) also received a lot of negative attention as well. See more »Trademark:
