It's hard to predict what kinds of people are going to enjoy it [film]. And what people ain't. That's the movies. You never know.
Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.
And if people come up and say they like the movies you're in, it's a great compliment.
Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.
Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.
A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.
Usually I'm trying to work with people that I've worked with before, so we have a certain amount of know-how and what we're going to do together.
Sometimes there are people who don't know how to make action movies - and that situation isn't a good one.
I'm more into MMA than any other sport. I watch a lot of the UFC fights. I have since it first came onto the scene.
A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.
When I go to the cinema I watch all different kinds of films.
I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He's definitely went to school and trained.
