[talking about his character in Jackie Brown]: "This is the great noir hero.If Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum were around today, they`d be playing that role."

Yes, to me that`s one of the most compelling fears in film noir and the psychological thriller genre - that fear of conspiracy. It`s definitely something that I have a fear of - not being in control of your own life. I think that`s something people can re...

I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing `Sin City`. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights.
