I'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.

People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.

I'm not a leading man. I'm a character actor. That's what I want to be.

If I could get myself to a place where I felt secure and I wouldn't have to kind of worry about money and I know my family would be secure, then I would leave the big studios so I could continue to make smaller films, and hopefully get to direct a few of them, too.

My ultimate goal is actually to direct and develop projects. I don't want them to be big projects with a lot of special effects because that's not really what appeals to me.

Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm motivated.

I really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.
