Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking. Griffin Dunne
But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time. Griffin Dunne

New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper. Griffin Dunne
Griffin Dunne quote: "If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in..."
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York. Griffin Dunne
Griffin Dunne quote: "On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the..."
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all. Griffin Dunne
Griffin Dunne quote: "Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are..."
Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises. Griffin Dunne
Griffin Dunne quote: "I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to..."
I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working. Griffin Dunne
