The nature of human beings is that we're competitive, and the chances are there's someone out there who's going to work harder than you and want it more than you.

Particularly when you're making a movie of a book, people are always waiting with their knives - you know?

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

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

I like stories with a collision of disparate tones. Look at 'Shameless' or 'House of Lies'. They go from big, silly, and comedic to very real dramatic moments in the wink of an eye.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.
