How would you characterize your relationship with Scorsese? Brotherly, friendly, or father-son? “With Gangs of New York, I’d been wanting to work with this man for a long period of time. I remember my father taking me to see one of Marty’s movies and saying, ‘If you have an opportunity and if you have a green light in this industry, there’s one person you should work with – this man.’ I sought out trying to work with him and it culminated in Gangs of New York. Since then, it’s been this great relationship where we’ve trusted each other more and more. We’ve realized we have a lot of similar sensibilities in the types of movies that we want to do and we have an acute understanding for what a scene should be. More than that, everyday for me, it’s just an honor to be on set with somebody like this. He reinforces in you what making movies is all about. Sometimes you forget.”
