I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much.

One who knows nothing can understand nothing.

I paint abstract expressions.

The mug is a tool. My ace in the hole. To have looks is the bonus on top of what motivates me to be an actor. Not to realize they're an asset would be counterproductive to the cause; they serve the common good.

I'm enjoying 40. Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.

A real man makes his own luck.

I read the Phantom comics when I was in Australia shooting 'Dead Calm'' and when one of the crew told me that there were plans for a movie, I went for it. That was in 1987 and I told (producer) Graham Burke I was going to be the Phantom. We had a laugh about that recently because you usually get what you deserve, not what you desire, and that is especially true in Hollywood!
