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've never been a big gore guy.

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.

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.

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