Nobody wants to watch perfection.

I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

I think anything that opens my mind and triggers my imagination I'm reading. I like to read science fiction and imagine the character. Anything that keeps my imagination flowing.

My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.

There were two movies that asked me to go to Australia or New Zealand for long periods of time. One was 'Lord of the Rings' and one was 'The Matrix.' But I was actively involved at that time raising my family, and I couldn't really take that time out.

I don't drink blood, and last time I looked in the mirror, I had a reflection.

I try to do as many stunts as they'll let me do. I think it's important for an audience to feel that the actor's really doing it.
