There's a personal side to me of challenges as an actor that I like to take on myself.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.

You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.

I think drug movies free the director to make intense films
