I had a relationship with an Italian chick that was built on just fighting and sex. As much as all women won't let go of stuff, Italian girls won't let go of anything. And she punched really hard. I got tired of the arguing it took to get to the sex.

I'm no day at the beach. And if it is a beach, it's Hampton Beach. Ever been there? It's not nice.

I'm a lapsed Catholic in the best sense of the word.

The second season is generally easier do because you know the actors better and they know the characters better and if everybody likes each other you can really go all types of places.

When I clicked into this idea of doing a band and examining a band as a dysfunctional family, I wanted to reverse that Rescue Me formula.

I try and shoot as often as I can, I cross shoot. I have at least two cameras rolling at the same time. So I'll have two actors or two sets of actors at a time so everybody's basically on camera. So when they improvise we have everybody's coverage. And you can then go in the editing room and find the energy still stays there.

I don't really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It's not my thing. It's like Tom Hanks territory.
