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.

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 think anytime a movie can inspire you to think and reflect and look at your life, it's a success.

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

I think that, just like the art scene and the music scene is exploding in LA - I mean, let's face it: if you want to be an artist you cannot live in New York anymore because it is too expensive…

We all come from different levels, and I think every human has their own relationship to violence, athletic violence and fighting.

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