Once you do one bad guy, usually all you get offered is bad guys.

If you spend a week at a casino you will very easily see that people have a certain way of behaving in a casino.

I'm not looking for a challenge, necessarily. I'm looking to make a really great film.

I was a very focused kid. I always had this crazy lifestyle... billions of jobs, two hours of gymnastics every day, handball, anything with a ball, really. I must have had ADHD or something. I was very energetic, and very small. I didn't start growing until the last year of high school.

If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.

I think the days are over where we were okay with bad guys just doing the pirate laugh and eating kids just for fun. There has to be a goal, you know? They have to have a point, and they have to make sense.

Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.
