I wanted to be kicked and hit and bruised up and beaten. It became something that was an absolutely necessary part of every day for me.

I'm not a big shopper.

Some people that are heroes to some can be looked at by another group of people as villains. As far as a middle point, just speaking for myself, that's exactly what to avoid.

At the end of the day, it's a show [Daredevil ] not about a superhero, but it's about a man. Hopefully, that's what we're doing with The Punisher, as well. It's an enormous honor to play this character. It's a character that's quite iconic and very important to a lot of people.

I mean, I hate when actors talk about how hard their job is. It's ridiculous, because we have the best job in the world.

I hope that I would put whatever my political beliefs aside, and realize that my country's asked me to to something, and do it.

The goal is just to try to get better and better, and the only way that makes sense to do that is to work with the best people. Surround yourself with the best artists and learn from them, and try to sink your teeth into the best material possible.
