Working out is incredibly boring. I swear it's true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

I'm writing a film. With our access to these powerful media, we're going to take over, because it's really disgusting what is put out there now to be consumed.

I'm also very proud to be a part of a trilogy of films that, if they do nothing else, allow people to check their problems at the door, sit down and have a good time.

I was never crippled until I lost hope.

I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.

I thank God every day. That's all I can do. That, and try to help all those other guys who are trying to do what I did.
