I love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.

It's funny because when Jason [Statham] was drowning I was filming with an iPhone. It may have been a bit insensitive but I just thought, "you know what, this was a magic moment". And I couldn't help him anyway because I didn't want to drown.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory.

If you don't have a mountain, build one and then climb it. And after you climb it, build another one; otherwise you start to flatline in your life.

When I'm on a location, I pick a restaurant that's close and private and eat all my meals there.

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.
