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

You've got to show your soul otherwise you're just a piece of equipment.

Real love is when you become selfless and you are more concerned about your mate's or children's egos than your own. You're now a giver instead of a taker.

I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.

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.

To know that the odds are so high that only through the perishing of your life will the minions survive, that's love. That's heroism.

I'm not a genetically superior person. I built my body.
