I was in two very horrible bands.

I guess maybe someone at 'Dexter' saw the 'Mad Men' stuff and thought, 'He can do this.'

I didn't want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I'm not that cool, so I might as well stick with my birth name.

I'm really fascinated with anything that takes place between the 1920s up through the 1960s. In some ways it feels familiar, and in other ways it feels like it's from another planet.

Having come up in the era where movies are only movies if they're released in the theater... I don't know if that holds true anymore. I've been involved in some movies that have gone 'direct-to-video,' and that used to not be a good thing, but now it's different.

I always want to be able to be in a room where I know I'm going to be entertained and challenged.

You could make a film about being intoxicated only when you're riding motorcycles, but really when you're in an enclosed space safely, you can.
