My direction as a person working in film has been to never get comfortable with anything I was doing. At the time that I decided to do action films, people were telling me, "Well, you can't do it. You're not that type. It's not going to work." And so obviously that made me think, "Well, that's not comfortable. Maybe I should try it. What can I do with it?" So I did that, and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably do it again, and I did other kinds of things that seemed like challenges for me, because I like being on the high wire.

I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.

I've always had a soft spot for comic books. I learned to read from them. The words in them were so interesting.

I haven't isolated myself. I am not living on a yacht somewhere. I am not tucked away or behind a gate somewhere. I am not flying on a private plane. I am going to the airport, I am with people, some of the interactions are good, some of them are not so good, but it keeps me in touch with being, you know, part of society.

I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence.

My best takes are my first two takes.

I would say that I'm 98 percent skeptical, but the other 2 percent [is] open for the possibility of things.
