That's what I love. I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.

I grew up the son of an acting teacher but I've never been really good at articulating what that process is. It was always a bit more internal.

It's very rewarding to see the movie, and it's very rewarding to make the movie, but playing the character [Riddick] is sometimes a lot more difficult than other characters because it takes so much preparation to get into that character.

A person in my position has to restrain himself.

Of course, I don't act in an extreme fashion in my day to day life. I don't think any of us live do. I think we all have that reserve somewhere and we pull upon it when we need it.

Video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.

I think there's something we all relate to about...wanting to get to our most primal self.
