“I believe in maniacs. I believe in type As. I believe that you’ve got to love your work so much that it is all you want to do. I believe you must betray your mistress for your work, you betray your wife for your work; I believe that she must betray you for her work. I believe that work is the one thing in the world that never betrays you, that lasts. If I were going to be a politician,...

Michelle Lombardo
We shot these pictures of actress Michelle Lombardo in a horrible, run down, flop-house of a hotel in downtown LA. There was blood on the ceiling of the room we were shooting in and I had to beg the stylist to actually unload the wardrobe and go through with the shoot as planned. It was a pretty foul experience,but, Michelle was a real trouper.

Behind-The-Scenes: Dennis Hopper
My crew and I were on location shooting legend Dennis Hopper. Mr. Hopper used to be one of my idols back in my 20’s. I studied his movies and performances, so, it was a real thrill to get to spend all day with him. We were lucky enough to stumble upon this guy who had an amazing collection of antique motorcycle stuff. Nothing dated past 1950. Dennis was in pretty good spirits all day...
