I couldn't direct traffic. It's hard enough just acting.

I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.

Usually if you read a screenplay, no matter who's writing it, the bad guy is always written as a one-dimensional bad guy.

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

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.

Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.

Wrestlers are all pretty busted-up by the ends of their careers.
