I come from athletics and I have a pretty big boxing background, so I never really shy away or get nervous about the physical rigors of filmmaking.

Fighting really does reveal everything to the other guy. It's not just about who can beat up to or who's tougher, it's who bullies who and who goes easy on who. You change from opponent, so it's about how you deal with a challenge and how you deal with a guy who you can handle easily.

I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you're going to get that next script and you're done.

If you can figure out how to get paid to do something you love, that's the dream.

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.

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.

Bugs have always loved me.
