I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.

I love action films. I don't really like drama.

I would love to try action films.

I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.

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

There are so few guys who do action and do it well. Even fewer who are African-American. Even fewer who have classical-theater training. So a cat like me coming in, I'm bringing all of that to an action movie.
