In acting, you get to explore such an artistic side with different characters to research and learn and explore different things inside yourself and I do that anyway, so I might as well be doing something that I already do, as in a second nature to me, on film.

I like to break down barriers and I think that Hollywood is doing the same thing over and over. I want to do something new and say, "Let's evolve as artists!"

My mom used to tell me: It's not what you weigh; it's what you look like.

Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don't like it to be ugly and I don't like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other.

You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.

Everybody is their own critic.

When I enjoy doing something, I don't mind if it hurts.
