Ego is something that everybody, creative especially, has to grapple with. You need enough ego to keep going but not so much ego that you're deaf or blind, that you're making a mistake and can't fix the course.

Never done an explosion, but I have had explosive diarrhea, and that was very, very real. Good thing I have my trailer.

I just find it annoying that in these sequences [of the fight scenes], traditionally, there's music trying to pump you up. I don't like that, personally, as an audience member. This just reflects my taste.

What are the stories you want people to tell about you?

I grew up mostly in the South, and there's definitely something about the South that's different from the North. When people ask me where I'm from, I say Louisiana. I spent more years there than anywhere else.

I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

Maybe I'll paint, do photography, just something else. I can see that.
