I think any time you can go after an audience that isn't built in, that's the job.

I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.

I've never been a big gore guy.

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