I'm an absolute fan of 1970s New York in films like 'Mean Streets' and 'Dog Day Afternoon.'
But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I'll miss the present.
As a writer, or as a filmmaker, you have to present yourself, and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in, or what you think is funny, or what you think is sad, or what you think is horrible.
