real people forever
We tend to take a great deal for granted, because you feel like you're going to live forever. It's only if you lose a friend, or maybe have a near-death experience, [that] many events and people in your life suddenly attain real significance.
careers choices trying
All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can't do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life.
life thinking numbers
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.
art exercise discipline
For me, the martial arts is a search for something inside. It's not just a physical discipline.
scared war
Some of my friends are scared right now, because the war is going on right now.
dramatic happen movies says types work
I just happen to like the action-adventure movies. No law that says you can't work in all types of dramatic stuff.
lives stakes taking wins works
Action-adventure, that genre, only works for me if you can care about the characters. If the hero's not taking some kind of a journey, then there are no stakes - and no stakes, then you don't care if he lives or dies, wins or loses.
dad framework within
I'd like to be able to show 'Rapid Fire' to my dad. I'm that proud of what we've accomplished within the framework of the action-adventure formula.
acting action best both bring characters dad dramatic figure films follow round serious worlds
I've wanted to follow my dad into acting for as long as I can remember. 'I've had a very serious round of dramatic training, and I like action films that take their characters seriously, so I figure I'm making it the best of both worlds if I try to bring some serious acting to a shoot-'em-up picture.
father respect work
I've done my work and I'm happy with it... I respect my father very much, but I'm a very different person than he was.
expected hear mean people
I never expected to hear something like that, I mean you don't hear about people from here that are in the war.
