You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.

I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.

I used to tweet, but it's an act of futility. You're not really making any impact, and if you find yourself in a mood when you wanna be a bit controversial and you post something, you suddenly realise, 'Oh my God!' because you've opened yourself up to a bunch of criticism from strangers.

Don't discuss your dreams. Pursue them!

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

Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.
