I've done millions of mediocre movies. I've done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.

I'm continuing to do research into biker culture.

Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.

The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.

I had an opportunity to be in Frank's [Sinatra] circle, but I couldn't take advantage of it because I couldn't get over how awed I was by him. It was so uncomfortable for me because he meant so much to me, but I just couldn't be myself, so I fled rather than having those great nights hanging out.

Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.
