I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.

When I'm getting ready for a movie, let's just say my diet is "The Antisocial Diet." I don't go to restaurants. I don't eat what I really want to eat. I don't eat much. I eat small things frequently. Lots of protein and greens. And I don't eat with people, because there's a tendency to get social and then to overeat.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

Sometimes there are people who don't know how to make action movies - and that situation isn't a good one.

And if people come up and say they like the movies you're in, it's a great compliment.

You only get one shot in your life and you might as well push yourself and try things. There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie; the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations. It's a great, great thing to be involved in if you have the headspace for it, and I do. Try anything once.

Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.
