Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated 3D film Hugo premiered last night in NYC, where the film's stars reflected on what it was like working with the legendary director.

"The whole film, all the time he was just doing incredible things," 14-year-old newcomer Asa Butterfield said. "I learned so much from him, it was amazing."

For Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley, it was Scorsese's laugh that he enjoyed the most.

"Hearing him laugh at something I did ... so beautiful," he deadpanned.

Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen appreciated the fact that the director was so ready and willing to collaborate with him.

"He let me really collaborate ... any weird idea I came up with, he was really ready to shoot it."

And what about all the award buzz he's been generating as of late?

"Never really been an ambition," he jokes. "Nice for everyone else though."
