“I'm sure everyone that has ever done an action movie has just drooled over how full of talent Bruce Lee was and how unique he was.”

“A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.”

“Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.”

“I don't do isolation body building; I just do practical things that help me with the kind of things that are asked of me in action movies. You know, a lot of kick boxing, a lot of sparring.”
