Usually when you're working on fight scenes, you don't really feel what's going on physically. It's more when you go back home and you're like, "My god!," and you wear the wounds or bruises with a certain amount of pride.

You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.

I love playing bad. But my whole thing is usually villains that don't know that they're evil.

I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.
