Action is always seen as the bottom rung of thespian endeavour, that's just the way it is.

Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look.

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

Most action is based on redemption and revenge, and that's a formula. Moby Dick was formula. It's how you get to the conclusion that makes it interesting.
