playing polo
Polo is like playing golf with a saddle, and there are a lot of moving parts.
good mystique people playing star
Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.
arnold came jordan local michael players
I came out of high school, where my heroes were, like, Michael Jordan and a lot of local rugby players - and on the movie front, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
thinking play people
I'm on the list that I thought I'd never be on. I'm not sitting here thinking, 'God, I might get this part' or 'is it too late for me to play Hamlet?' It's really about: who do I get to work with? There's so many people on that list.
character play indulge-in
Sometimes, the smaller roles in movies can be the most interesting. If you only take the stance that you'll only play central characters in movies, you'll find yourself not being able to indulge in that morally grey terrain that makes support characters so rich and interesting.
choose love money purse stick
You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.

To me, I think I'm just going to keep focused and forward on what I'm doing, work-wise, rather than searching for any kind of meaning in it.

Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I'm in this 'Star Wars' world, that I'm a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it's too hard to wrap my head around.
films life
Blue Tongue Films is a very important part of my life.
anger cage dominance fighting fueled male ring street
Fighting in the ring or cage is very much different from fighting in the street. Fighting in the street is very much fueled by anger, pride, and male dominance and ego.
certain decides
What an audience decides about where certain characters come from is really up to them.
build learned seems
To me, Hollywood seems a little bipolar. Things happen; things don't happen. Someone's in a movie; someone's not in a movie. I've learned not to build my expectations.
kids
I don't have any kids of my own.
I don't call acting a real job, and writing is a hobby.
