Action is always seen as the bottom rung of thespian endeavour, that's just the way it is.

I believe an artist dies twice. The first time, it's just terrible - I've been there when the phone isn't ringing for years.

Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.

What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.

I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.

Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.

I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor.
