I met a group of guys from that world at a rally about a month and a half ago, and they said an interesting thing: that this show has ultimately become a good PR vehicle for outlaw clubs, from acceptance from the general public all the way to law enforcement. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But I was glad.

[on Sons of Anarchy (2008)] I'd like to think that, when we're pushing the envelope, it's never gratuitous. Ultimately, the world this story takes place in, the subculture, is really background for what I like to think of as a family drama. It's a love story between a man and his wife. To make characters like the 'Sons' palatable for an audience, you have to stress those elements of brotherhood and family and love.
