I continue to develop some things for myself and also take advantage of good parts as they come along.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

I saw what luck and success I had as an opportunity to twist it up and do something different, so I've always sought out different genres and different kinds of characters.

No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it.

I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing.
