I just focus on my work with inner-city kids, and in my community, and on my philanthropic work.

Previously, I've worked with Bill Monahan on The Departed, he recently wrote American Desperado for us, and I just acted in a movie he directed called Mojave. So, yes, Jimmy, that goes without saying.

I prepare mentally and physically for everything I do. I like having to do both, because you submerge yourself into the character and the world and you live it until it's over.

I like to do projects I feel some connection to.

I also like to get out there to promote a positive message about the importance of family and faith and of doing the right thing.

I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.

That whole world, the world of bodybuilding to me is fascinating. It's such a unique and interesting culture, and everything about it appeals to me.
