QUOTE: On Robert De Niro: "We really connected," recalls Scorsese. "I met him at dinner in New York, small apartment, and after dinner, De Niro called me over and said, 'When you grew up, were you friends with so-and-so?' 'That's right' I said. He was 'Bobby from Hester Street,' and I was 'Marty of Elizabeth Street.' He knew the world I came from, the nature of that world."
