My theory about actors is we're all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.
It's the cable shows that are really the most interesting - 'Mad Men,' 'Breaking Bad,' those shows are really the premiere shows on television right now.
L.A. is still such a fascinating place to me, so big and diverse. It's so spread out that you can go from Zuma to downtown and there's really like 10 different towns in between.
New York had a big influence on me growing up, and I was really part of the club scene - the Mudd Club and Studio 54. When you're living in New York, you are just bombarded with style, trying to figure out how to be cool and how to feel relaxed at the same time.
Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.
Yeah, romantic comedies are the hardest movies to make. Maybe one works a year.
My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip, cool, anything-goes atmosphere back then, but looking good was still a priority.
'Dark Blue' is ultimately a gritty crime drama, at its core. I don't think that is ever going to change.
Jerry Bruckheimer really is an executive producer, who obviously is the most successful producer in the history of film and television.
With the rise of cable, network is clearly floundering because the characters on cable are far more fascinating than they are on network. Network television is trying to figure it out. Network television really relies on story rather than character, and cable relies on character.
I guess my style is a cross between David Bowie and Clint Eastwood.
The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.
Never wear plaid.
I've always been fascinated by Baretta and Donny Brasco, and other undercover cops in movies.
