With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn't elicit laughter.

I've had a lot of operations. I'm kind of like Franken-actor.

People assume that 'The Expendables' is old school, but it's only old school because that's the way I know how to make an action film. It's pretty real.

If I'd made it right away as an actor, I would've stopped at a certain level and stayed there, probably as a character actor.

Plan B. You've always got to have a Plan B.
