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.

And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.

Idris Elba is a grand actor. He's very larger than life; he's bigger than life.

I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales - sentient life - insects, reptiles.

I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.

Well, Amber [Heard] is still raising her eyebrow at me because I said that I've been 180 miles per hour on the 405 freeway on a motorcycle and she doesn't believe me but it's a true story. I did it coming home from work at 3 in the morning on another movie I made about cars called Gone in 60 Seconds. I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that's really, really crazy but I did it.

I like fantasy. I like horror, science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.
