I`ve lived most of my life in Manhattan, but as close as Brooklyn is to Manhattan, there are people who live there who have been to Manhattan maybe once or twice.
I wanted to work on this central problem of killing. How you go about killing. Now, in the film I had to kill my children - well, I didn`t want to get that far.
I think that the change began... I made a film a few years ago called The Spitfire Grill, and that didn`t make much money either, but it was a good film and an independent film.
I sketched out a rough story for them and the director said, well it`s a good story but we have the go-ahead from Universal to make this script and did I want to do it. I said no, and they left.
