During a conversation with Deadline, the filmmaker talked about his upcoming film, Killers of the Flower Moon. When asked about his future and the fire to get right back behind the camera, Martin Scorsese said, “I wish I could take a break for eight weeks and make a film at the same time [laughs].

Later, while elaborating upon his statement, Martin Scorsese added, “I’m old. I read stuff. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time.” He later talked about how Akira Kurosawa got his Oscar from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. “He said, “I’m only now beginning to see the possibility of what cinema could be, and it’s too late.” He was 83. At the time, I said, “What does he mean?” Now I know what he means,” concluded the Goodfellas director.
