As a director, I hoped that I was able to help the actors by giving them the space and the respect they need and the trust. I gave them what I always felt I needed when I was working.

It's been a lifetime ambition of mine to play an 007 villain.

To actually feel like you've done something good with your life and you're useful to others is what I was always wanting, and was always looking for.

I do have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my film express.

I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I'll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.

If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.
