Griffin Dunne Quotes & Sayings (Page 2)

“I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.”

“I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.”

“I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early '80s.”

“I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working.”

“I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.”

“If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.”

“Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.”

“In the '80s, I can't say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios.”

“And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture.”

“As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.”
