I watch a lot of television and I watch a lot of film and I hate when you watch the action sequences - and I always tell when they use a stunt man - and then they put the actor in and you can tell these actors haven't done anything.

I'm very physical. I grew up boxing. I've done almost all of my own stunts in movies and in television.

I became fascinated by the fact that you could translate written material into performance.
