I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms; they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.

Action is pretty boring to do as an actor. Action and sex scenes are silly because it's all faking.

When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like "Winners Never Quit" by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
