I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro , like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.
Actor's life is very long.
I know that eventually, I'll have to change my life and my career, but I've got a lot of good years left in me yet.
When life knocks you down, you can choose to get back up.
Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.
Today when our actors go to the U.S., what movies can they make? Can they appear in 'Titanic'? Could they do 'Kramer vs. Kramer'? No. No actor could do it,
Breathing hurts. ... It hurts to draw my fist. It's been hard filming fight scenes these past two days.
When I was a child, I was very poor and wanted everything. So when I got money, I began buying things.
One day, I want to make a PG film.
I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
I really like children to watch my movies.
I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.
I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.
