The director said since childhood he was preoccupied with a few subjects including magic tricks, baseball and crime, reported the Huffington Post.

"I learned everything I know about crime and murder as a boy growing up. For some reason, as a little kid, I was very preoccupied with a few subjects: magic tricks, baseball and crime.

"I knew all the gangsters and all the criminals and all the murderers; I knew everything about them, their nicknames, what they were in (prison) for. I knew every guy and where he grew up and what he had done. It was a real fascinating interest of mine," he said.
