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 just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.

I don't want you to think that I'm up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I'm not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.

For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.

Tattoos to me are the outward symbol of the inward change within my soul.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.

I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
