The body needs to rest. It needs a lot less exercise than you think.

The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.

Dreams cost nothing. They are free. The hard part is just keeping them going.

Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.

I think there's something about being a neophyte that's refreshing and hard to duplicate; it brings about real innovation. Innovation usually comes about through blind ignorance.

I understand that a lot of other actors don't have a choice. They have to eat so they need to work and they'll do films that they're not so proud of. But I've been fortunate enough to be given a second wind, so I try to pick projects I know will provide the audience the kind of escapism they want from me.

The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.
