To me, the responsibility of an actor is to recreate humanity honestly. I never feel like an actor, I always look at it from a blue collar perspective.

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.

In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains. They just have a certain agenda at a certain time.

When you don't have much money, you get creative. There's so much money that gets wasted on big movie sets. But when you don't have much money, you improvise.

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.

Most people say I look mean, and because I play so many tough roles and because of my size and my martial arts background, they think I am, but I'm really not.

I don't cook. I think they named the 'Mike'-rowave after me.

I love the '70s. I think the '70s had the best music and the best movies.

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

I go to gyms quite a bit, martial arts gyms, MMA gyms. I try to train with the best people, with who's who in the martial arts, just to keep myself sharp.

I won't do that when I'm a parent. I'll make different mistakes, of course.

As soon as we have found the key of life, it opens the gates of death.

The world is like an enormous set of scales. When evil begins to outweigh good, angels cram themselves in on the lighter side. You can't see them, but there they are, restoring the balance.

Hard work always wins in the end.

The fine print in the President's Social Security proposal is that all present and future workers under age 55 will have their promised retirement benefits cut.

Sit back, enjoy the ride and hang out with me for a little while. ( sorry, cheesy driving metaphor!)

I'm just a regular dude with an odd job.

Every great panic we have ever had has been foreshadowed by a general decline in observance of religious principles.

The time will come to every human being when it must be known how well he can bear to die.

Three hundred men, each of whom knows all the other, govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect their successors from their entourage.
