I enjoy playing real human beings after playing a lot of larger than life characters. I love playing true to life characters and that is what I intend to do for the majority of my career.

I am my own worst critic and I am hell to pay so I just have to do everything to my utmost ability.

Since I do seven different styles of martial arts, I don't foresee myself fighting the same in any two movies. I think every fighting style should fit the character that's doing the fighting.

I enjoy logic and logic puzzles. And filmmaking is one fun logic puzzle that you gotta win.

Letters form a by-path of literature, a charming, but occasional, retreat for people of cultivated leisure.

I think there's a tremendous split between people who've been through a war and people who haven't.

I need a sample of your blood,' said Kira. Marcus raised an eyebrow. 'I didn't know we'd reached that stage of our relationship.
