Acting was never my first choice as a profession, but I came to terms with it when I decided I better buckle down and be the best I can be at it.

It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.

I wanted to change my name to Romeo Florentino. Romeo Florentino - that's a good fighter's name.

Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.

If you look closely at some scenes in Diner, my eyes look like Dracula's.

I trained like an animal, but the thing is focus and concentration. When the bell rings it's like when the little red light goes on over the camera. And I can usually nail my lines on the first or second take because I'm right there.

People ask me about that all the time. They say, "Did you ever think of directing?" And I say, "It's completely out of the question."
