I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

I did think for many, many years that because of my ability I could beat the system. And I was wrong.

I had gotten injured during the boxing, and I was supposed to take several months off because I'd had a couple of concussions, and so I sort of just left the boxing and got into the acting by accident.

Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.

Years ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.

A lot of the stuff I am now seeing is edgy, raw kinda material.
