I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.

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 was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.

When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions.

Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.

I want to turn my attention to movies about love relationships. Exploring the female psyche - there ought to be some interesting discoveries there. Love stories. If you do it right, people want to hear romantic dialog.

You have to be really loyal to the people that supported you when you were coming up.
