Give me an honest con man any day.
I committed to directing 'Catch Me If You Can' not because of the divorce component, but principally because Frank Abagnale did things that were the most astonishing scams I had ever heard.
When people write about me, they usually start off with the headline 'World's Greatest Con Man.'
The secret of being a top-notch con man is being able to know what the mark wants, and how to make him think he's getting it.
I had a weird situation were someone used my name to extort money from a woman. He took her for 60 or 80 thousand dollars. He is in prison now. It was on Sally.
People go hard with the scams. Make sure you know who you're working with and what the contract says.
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition, and keeps all your dead hair for making underwear.
So far I’m not seeing a lot of difference between me and a carnival con-man.
