My job as a double was always to put [actors] at ease. My job was to make my character, or the actress that I was doubling, look as badass as possible by being there.

Feeling fear is a good sign that your survival instincts are intact. You need to appreciate the dangers to stay safe.

Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.

In my career as a double, a lot of my job is to not just do the fights to make them look cool, but also to appear as the same person as the actor I am playing.

I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it.

My job has always been to not only make my character look like a badass but to also make the actor I am fighting opposite to be the character they need to be too.

When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.

I would find it more difficult if somebody else was doing the action.

Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.

I had to paint the picture that I was never scared, otherwise I couldn't do my job. But now, as an actor, I'm literally paid to look emotionally accessible.

People are far more protective [of women] instinctively.

The only thing that will ever make me fall in love is: if I fall in love.

When you finally understand who you are, ages 6 through 60 will understand who you are. Because when they see a person that's come through all that I've come through, still standing, it's amazing.

Take the armor off, so the arrow of the Truth can penetrate you.

My manic depression was ravaging my life, but because nobody could see it, many people thought it was a figment of my imagination.

Concentrate on your goals. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind. If you allow them to, other things could take your concentration away from your ultimate aim.

I'm just a normal schmo like anyone else.

As you can tell by my IMDB page, I like to work.

I'm happy with my career but I could have been happier if I could have been treated like a champion should have been treated because management and fighters take advantage of fighters.

One word of praise from a woman is dearer to me than a whole ode from a man . .

You gotta imagine what's never been.
