The Hell's Angels try not to do anything halfway, and anyone who deals in extremes is bound to cause trouble, whether he means to or not. This, along with a belief in total retaliation for any offense or insult, is what makes the Hell's Angels unmanageable for the police and morbidly fascinating to the general public.

Timothy Leary and I kept the same hours. He believed, as I do, that “After midnight, all things are possible.

[Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas] is a very hard book to translate to film because there's so much interior monologue. The what if factor.

I think we should do it like a documentary.
