We're in the doing business, or acting business and creating business. We're not in the results business, so we don't have any control over what the result is.

You just have to go with a good story and a script that you like and people that you like to work with.

Anything that has to do with noir and space, I'm gonna love. When you've got a noir-ish, pulpy detective in a science fiction show, I'm all in, in that regard.

Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.

When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?

When I was doing character films, I would always try to find something to subvert the standard. You know, to play them exactly for what they are. That's the fun for me.

I want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.
