I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art.

Like any other actor, I draw on life experience.

The main reason I like UFC is not just the martial arts aspect, but it's about one person against the other person. It's about being able to test yourself with the truth.

My action follows my characters. If a character is a cop, you cannot be posing all the time, you cannot fly off the roof because it doesn't make any sense - it's not practical.

I don't make comparisons between any movies. I compare characters. All my actions, performances, all my films, they are driven by the characteristic. If I'm playing a cop, then I give him a particular style - I may not know that style, but as an actor I have to be responsible to do your homework and do your research and training and stuff like that.

As an action director I always try to bring something fresh and new.

I try to update my arsenal constantly. Learning different martial arts since childhood. To understand what's out there. To really be in tune.
