Most of us have unhealthy thoughts and emotions that have either developed as a result of trauma or hardships in their childhood, or the way they were raised.

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.

For a while, I had this uncontrollable urge - this addiction to danger. Now I look back and I think, 'Gee, what an idiot. I was risking my life just for the sensation of it.'

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

I think the more diversity that one has in his life, the happier he can be, as long as he is able to do whatever he chooses to do at that given time well.

I think people are frustrated in this society, where predators prey upon normal, law-abiding citizens, and you never see justice in the courtroom. In my films, the predators don't get away with it.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
