Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.

I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.

I think of myself as a young prince from a long line of royalty.

In the beginning, all I wanted to do was to be a singer and a dancer. That was my real groove, my real interest. When it came to doing films, my biggest goal was to do a commercial.

I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.

I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.
