I get an opportunity to communicate with the audience about the movie that I've made. I get the chance to bring attention to the film that I've made. I care a lot about the movies that I make. I want them to reach an audience, and I want them to be successful. I promote nearly everything that I do, unless I've got some bad taste in my mouth.

I think it turned out to be a pretty good movie [42]. I wouldn't lie to you.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days, especially the ones that deal with fantasy, is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.

I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.

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.

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
