But I was very, very lucky, and it was a wake up call as far as motorbikes are concerned. I never flirted with death on the bike, but now I'm totally convinced they're death machines.

I've made many films and only a few times I've played real people.

I don't think I'm funny.

If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you become something else entirely.

Making a film, you do need stamina, whether you're doing fight scenes or not. It's important to keep fit. I'm not talking about having perfect abs and stuff, but you've got to be on top of your game, especially if you're playing the lead. You have to look after yourself.

I have friends who have daughters and there's times I think I'm glad I have boys instead of girls.

I'm a big believer in acts of kindness, no matter how small.
