It was dirty and hot, and you're on a horse, all day. It was physical work, but there wasn't one of us - cast or crew - who didn't have a smile on our face. Even when it got real hard and tempers would rise because things would get difficult and the day would get late, we all loved the job and loved doing it. When you finished that day of work, everyone was looking around and going, "Yeah, that was a good day, man."

Marvel is very secretive, so there was no script. About six months before production, they gave me some pages and it was from a cop movie. And then, six months later, I got a phone call saying, "Do you want to come do this?" [iron Man]

I always like playing the bad guys. They have more fun! I want a director to come up to me and say, "You can't get too weird!" That's a good thing. I loved hearing that. Let me play. I like to play around.

I like pressure. Pressure is good.

I think pressure when you work is good. It forces you to take risks and to do other things.

I can't go to the hardware store, cut a sheet in half and staple it to the window anymore. It doesn't fly.

I'm a pretty private person, so I'd like to say I'm a good ear and that I keep my mouth shut.
