#Quote
1I don't have a typical filmmaker background. I didn't grow up with a super eight camera or a video camera. I didn't start cutting movies when I was four or five. I actually didn't really start to get into the research of film until I was much older. I decided I wanted to direct a lot earlier than I started to do the research, which is really strange, but it is the case.
#Fact
1Casablanca (1942), Sweet Smell of Success (1957), La Dolce Vita (1960), The Godfather: Part II (1974) and On the Waterfront (1954) are some of his favorite films.
2At the 1995 MTV Music Video Awards, he won Best Video of the Year for Directing the TLC's "Waterfalls" video.
