I wanted to become an engineer, or get a masters in business. But I had the opportunity to do films when I was about 25 and it was a great way to express myself.

I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.

I've drank more beer and pissed more blood and banged more women than all you numb nuts put together!

One day you'll understand the sheer awesomeness that is me.

My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well.

Everybody's life has some mythical quality. You struggle against obstacles, you fight to get to a higher level and there are great loves.

I've never had a good line. Well, maybe 'I must break you'.

In the normal life of an actor or director, running around, there's not much time to go to church. But there's other ways to be spiritual, too.

At least once a week, I try to have one day where I have nothing planned so I can get up and just go back to bed and lay around and recharge my batteries.

I was very sickly as a kid and had a lot of allergies, so martial arts gave me the chance to feel strong.

I discovered martial arts, first judo and then karate, and I became quite good at it, because I had something to prove. And more than anything, I needed to feel safe.

Loneliness doesn't come from missing someone it comes from being disconnected with yourself.

A society whose members are helpless need idols.

As long as I dream, that is enough for me to keep moving forward.

I love to write and to get to know the people who are listening.

When you are an actor every day kind of morphs into one as there is no set structure to my job.

In the revolt against idealism, the ambiguities of the word experience have been perceived, with the result that realists have more and more avoided the word.

If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

For the most part, if you have an isolated place, it's sort of nice to have a communal vibe.

Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.

You can always make a good film but for it to be successful, you need God's blessing.
