I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

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

I'm used to being efficient and a guy that can do more than the average guy can.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.

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

A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.
