' Its not dust, it's mud. ' I think that's a line from Citizen Kane

Living legend and genius, everyone wants to work with Mr Scorsese. :-)

"Silence" is certainly one of the greatest films of the decade. I would entertain possibly even THE greatest.

Great interview, like all of Martin's!

A true artist. The full palette: technical skill, emotional sensitivity, and laserlike intelligence. Funny, too! :) I'll miss him when he's gone.
