I love the whole world of boxing and the sense of community that exists there.

I love boxing. I really respect the guys and admire the guys who do it. But, I'm very, very happy with my career as an actor. I made the right choice.

When I do a movie, I have the script. I know how it begins and how it ends. I know what my character does and where he's going. If I have ideas I want to express or changes I want to make, there's one guy: the director. It's different in television.

Boxing is a place where, if you haven't done the training, that's going to be exposed very quickly.

The greatest gift that an actor can have is good scripts because then you're relieved of the responsibility of trying to elevate the material.

You can get into a place in your life where you no longer are in control of events, and events are in control of you.

If you're going to play a champion athlete, people expect you to look a certain way, and you also have to have the stamina to be able to continue to perform.
