Sometimes I write with music on, and if I'm in a good flow, I don't even hear it.

To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.

I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.

If you come into my house, I'm going to fight much more viciously to get you out than if we were on a neutral piece of land.

Everyone has this conjecture that action films are somewhat less prestigious than dramatic films. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've done them both and this is hard and dangerous.

When you're on top and you lead the parade, everyone's there throwing lilies and lilac water on your head. But when those parades have gone by and there's a storm in your heart, there are very few people that are going to sit there and listen to you bemoan life.

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