I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.

The acclaim I'm getting for 'The Wrestler' means everything in the world to me. But it also means I can't take my foot off the gas pedal.

I was the only guy standing in front of the tide.

As time goes by and you're getting older and stuff like that - getting older sucks. You know, I hear all this crap about, 'Oh, you can age with dignity.' Really?

Bounty hunters these days - because everything is so sophisticated with computers and surveillance, it doesn't have to be a one-man-army-type guy who goes in and kicks a door down.

You know, back in acting school they always teach you, 'Make bold choices and look for activities that are interesting.'
