My life has always been chaotic. From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It's always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.

Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.

Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.

I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
