L.A. is still such a fascinating place to me, so big and diverse. It's so spread out that you can go from Zuma to downtown and there's really like 10 different towns in between.
Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.
You'd see those movie stars on the screen, and say, 'I want to be that guy.'
'Dark Blue' is ultimately a gritty crime drama, at its core. I don't think that is ever going to change.
'Rosemary's Baby' is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The idea of her being impregnated with the devil is just so frightening. I'm actually going to work on a movie in February, called 'Mercy,' from Jason Blum, who produced the 'Paranormal Activity' movies, and there is a similar theme to 'Rosemary's Baby' in the movie.
It's a very cool place. It's a great place to shoot, there's character and charm to it.
Sometimes you have to search for inspiration with characters, and other times, they just drop out of the sky and arrive.

I was terrified of the Vietnam War when I was 13. I thought I was going. The draft was such an ominous thing, I felt as if it was going to trickle down to me.
I did a movie with Clint Eastwood and I knew I wasn't going to be able to 'out-man' him.
