[On why he makes films about Irish-Americans] "I feel Irish-Americans are the forgotten minority group. Nobody else is making films about them. You have Woody Allen and Paul Mazursky making films about Jewish-Americans, you have Martin Scorsese and Franci...
Edward Burns
(On Gangs of New York) "We showed a print of it at the Skywalker Ranch. I was amazed by what he (Scorsese) did with it and where he went. It was terrific."
George Lucas
[New York Times interview, Oct. 16, 2005]: I regret turning down the lead role in Alice Doesn`t Live Here Anymore (1974) which Ellen Burstyn deservedly won an Oscar for. I said to myself: "Who is this Martin Scorsese person?".
Shirley MacLaine
On the making of Taxi Driver (1976): "You rarely have a director like Martin Scorsese or a co-star like Robert De Niro, who rehearses and rehearses until you get the feeling that for the time you`re with him he is the character. It`s so real it`s frighten...
Jodie Foster
(On Scorsese) Martin doesn`t have to convince me about anything. I can only say that I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Marty once in their lifetime. If you get it twice, it`s a privilege that you don`t necess...
Daniel Day-Lewis
[His reaction to his Oscar-nomination for The Departed (2006)]: Any time someone says you have an opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese you jump at the chance.
Mark Wahlberg
(On The Da Vinci Code) I`d love to make a movie that shakes the world and offends people, but I really. Didn`t think it was going to be this one. I think next to The Last Temptation of Christ it`s Tonka Toys. Nobody seemed to get offended by Martin Scorse...
Paul Bettany
Among today`s directors I`m of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese [Martin Scorsese], and Coppola [Francis Ford Coppola], even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they`re passionat...

Ingmar Bergman
(On why he would not add rap songs to the soundtrack to "Scarface") "They said it would help promotion, presenting the film in a different way, but Giorgio`s music was true to the period, I argued -- and no one changes the scores on movies by Marty Scorse...
Brian De Palma
On working with Martin Scorsese in Gangs of New York (2002): "He`s a perfectionist, obsessed with detail. That`s why he went over budget and over schedule."
Leonardo DiCaprio
On Martin Scorsese: "Martin has brought so much to the art form of film, and he is not the type of person who would be upset by not receiving an Oscar, although it is a practical joke that he has not won an Academy Award after all these years. Whatever op...
Leonardo DiCaprio
I`ve never been accepted as that conventional artist. Whatever you say about David Lynch or Martin Scorsese, they are considered major film artists and nobody can argue with that. I`ve never had that. I`ve had people say it about me. And I`ve had people s...
Brian De Palma
I`d like to stress that I only have a small role. Oh, who am I kidding? There are no small roles in a Martin Scorsese film. (Regarding her role in The Aviator (2004)).
Gwen Stefani
Marty and I were constantly in this struggle. I had problems with Marty. He was "I`m Martin Scorsese... da-dee-da." He was pushing me in different ways. But it wasn`t just Marty. The whole time I was in the character so I was mad at everybody. It was Leo,...
Mark Wahlberg
[At the Academy Awards in 2002, explaining why he was the one introducing a montage of New York movies] And I said, `You know, God, you can do much better than me. You know, you might want to get Martin Scorsese, or, or Mike Nichols, or Spike Lee, or Sidn...
Woody Allen
(in 2006, about The Departed (2006)] Working with [Martin Scorsese] is a dream come true and we`re just having a ball, Just how he commands a set . . . But we are staying true to the original film. We shot in New York for a couple of months, and then we`v...
Anthony Anderson
Why do I need final cut? Final cut is for artistes quote unquote--directors whose movies don`t make a lot of money. Maybe Scorsese should have final cut because a guy like Harvey Weinstein or a studio might change it to make it a little more accessible or...
Brett Ratner
Before I start a film, there is always a period where I think, I`m not sure I can do this again. I remember that before I was going to start There Will Be Blood (2007), I wondered why I had said yes. When Martin Scorsese told me about Bill the Butcher in ...
Daniel Day-Lewis
They`re both such great directors. Ridley, of course, is very visual; he brings a world of visual creativity to the work, as well as great emotional truth and sincerity. And Scorsese is just great as the synapses flash in his mind - you just stand there a...
John Logan
In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.

I think the obvious answer is I was raised in New York City, so growing up, not only myself but my family, like my father, we would watch a lot of Scorsese films.
