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

I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line.

I'm the guy doing calisthenics. I'm doing jumping jacks and deep knee bends. I work out like a British person.

I've had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.

I've always find that Aussies and Vancouver-ites in general just have a similar kind of attitude.

If you want a film and they don't want you, sometimes you have to go fight for it. Sometimes that ends up just being a meeting really, just sitting down with them and just saying here is my vision for it and here is why I really love it. But for the most part, I think filmmakers gravitate towards people that are excited - as excited as they are about the film and as passionate about it. So sometimes going after it isn't so much a function of auditioning as it is just sitting down with the filmmaker.

I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they're nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.
