I don't travel for fun, because I travel so much with my work; when I'm not working, I mostly want to stay home.

You got to know what's worth keeping and what's worth letting go.

If you are only getting two takes and you are on a crazy set where there is a lot of noise and distractions and it is hard to focus - that is frustrating. But I don't mind two takes if there is a healthy respect with the work going on with the actors.

I'm equally terrified of both comedy and drama. The only thing I'm really comfortable with is action.

I don't pick my roles by genre; that's kind of silly.

If you don't believe there's some organising principle, or somebody up in the sky pulling the strings, then it can be very stressful. And nature itself is very arbitrary - it's not malevolent or benevolent; it doesn't even know we're here.

The magic word for me is pumpernickel. I love pumpernickel. I must have some Russian blood in me because I could just eat pumpernickel and raw onions.
