I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

Money is not nice. Money got no friends but more money.

These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them.

I think I'm still, in many ways, a terribly self-conscious person. I'd probably be shooting and think, "Well, how does my hair look?"

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.
