Every actor has to love and loathe the character he plays.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.

What you do is, you just do the gig, enjoy, get on with it, and treat the rest as horse doodle.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
