After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.

In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.

If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.

I've been taking my time now between projects looking for stuff that has a little bit more substance, that isn't surface. Some of the films that I've done in the past really were surface.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.
