I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

I don't like the outside world to intrude when I'm making a film. I like to either see my family or work, but I don't like to go out.

And you didn't headline movies at 20. You were able to have a career that built little by little by little. It wasn't just like, OK, throw them up there, make them a superstar, pay them $10 million a movie and then watch them self-destruct and you don't care because all you need is the three years [of fame]. It was just a different set of rules.

I don't call myself a very good Christian, but I think I know one when I see one, and I also think I know when I don't.

He is the foremost reason I wanted to make the movie. I'd never been right for one of his movies.

Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can.
