Martin Scorsese almost quit making movies after working with Harvey Weinstein: 'I decided it was over'

Martin Scorsese recently revealed he almost quit Hollywood after working with Harvey Weinstein on several of his most critically acclaimed films.

"I realized that I couldn’t work if I had to make films that way ever again," Scorsese told the outlet. "If that was the only way that I was able to be allowed to make films, then I’d have to stop. Because the results weren’t satisfying. It was at times extremely difficult, and I wouldn’t survive it. I’d be dead. And so I decided it was over, really."

Weinstein’s company, Miramax, had the rights to "Gangs of New York," a long-time passion project for Scorsese, and the two reportedly clashed behind the scenes.
