Peter Fonda is the reason I became a motorcyclist. I saw Easy Rider and I bought a motorcycle the next day, and I rode it all the way from LA to San Francisco.

I always wanted to find a way to apply my acting in a big mad monster movie where I was transforming into this scary entity.

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.

I hit the ground running, without a lot of training, so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional, and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out, I was going to do that. I lived those characters, I brought them home with me.

When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?'
