There's a little wire work, which is so much fun. You can fly, it's amazing. But I've had to mostly just sort of kung fu, you know, ground work. Footwork and stuff like that.

I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.

There have never been so many civil wars as in the Kingdom of Christ.

I've known Mark Hunt for a long time, and I've known Brock [Lesnar] for a while. I think that it's a very interesting match-up. I think it's good on the UFC for making that match-up.

I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.

But I, for one, am not interested in a harmless truth or a harmless God. Give me a truth that works, and a God who makes me tremble.

I know I am no better than anyone else in this world. I'm just an actor, that's nothing special. But I'm not into anything bad. Just blackjack.
