I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.

We don't shoot in L.A. much anymore. You know, TV and movies, most everything's shot other places.

Sometimes we don't want the bad guy to get caught because otherwise the story is over. You want to at least see it through to the end.

These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.

I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.

Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
