There are guys who want to look good, and there are guys who want to perform at their best. Being fit is about being able to perform at your best, not necessarily just looking your best.

I like to do projects I feel some connection to.

The success of 'The Fighter' made it a lot easier to get 'Broken City' green-lit. And the buzz about 'The Fighter' also made it a lot easier to get 'Contraband' green-lit.

Music is my life. The last job I had, I was a bricklayer's apprentice. And I was happy with that job, too, because it was something that made me feel good. To build a wall for the side of a building felt really good to me.

I do understand that going out and promoting the movie is a big responsibility, and part of the reason they give me the job in the first place.

Okay, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.

I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
