Every time I hangout with Sandra Bullock I think I want to be her. I want to be married to Jesse James.

I know there are actors we all want to beat up a little. I think it's important to do whatever it takes, and whatever it takes sometimes involves some physical or mental discipline. There's a lot at stake.

I don't personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction.

Anyplace of work where you have a cross section of work, you have mini-ecosystem. A little representation of what the planet is. You have the Alpha Dog. You have the young ones, the old ones. The pissed off one. The quiet one.

Four months after we finished shooting, I'd been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat - actually in London - and he's sitting there and goes, 'Wow, I just can't believe how ripped you are.'

I hope that I'm always satisfied and content like I am right at this very moment.

Martin Campbell is a director who has that ability to marshal so many forces together and create a film.
