If someone's got a fear of heights, they'd probably say, well, hanging off a helicopter at 3,000 feet above downtown L.A. would be the scariest. For me, that's a day's work, something I was very happy to do.

In L.A., it's very hard to have some kind of conscience of some style out there. The weather's too hot; there's no seasons.
I do all my own fights, but I'm OK. I'll just hobble around,
I pick up a lot of stuff from them, but I don't think there's any great trick to acting.
