That was a nasty cut; she had a couple stitches in there, ... She's wearing no clothes, so it's hard to protect yourself from any kind of shrapnel that's pinging around in the room. That particular sequence, there was glass, wood and material. ... I got a piece in the wrist and pulled that out, that's expected. It would be nice if we could avoid that kind of thing, but when you're making an action movie it's par for the course.
I like heist movies. I like action movies that set all the elements into one and a chance to do something that comes from a great stable of writing.
If anybody knows how to make action movies it's Sly.
Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.
Sometimes there are people who don't know how to make action movies - and that situation isn't a good one.
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
Yes, I did quite a bit of boat driving.
I'm impressed with the likes of Jet Li and Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee was a big hero of mine for many years. They're great influences.
Me in a cape? I don't fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don't think that's right for me. I just respond more to true stories; that's my flavour.
I suppose I'm a decent driver, ... I used to drive fast when I was a kid. We always used to race each other down the streets, but you get a bit more sensible now as you get a bit older.
I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, and if I saw Bruce Lee try to be some namby-pamby lawyer, I'd want my money back.
A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don't get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that's made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.
It's just Lou-Lou trying to be funny, ... Although he did say, 'In Part 2, you will become the gay icon.'
It's the guy who drives the fast cars, can beat up the rest of the guys and gets the girl, ... You could say it's a working-class James Bond. A Bond who drinks Heineken and not Dom Perignon champagne. He's a bit less refined, but still very capable.
