People try to challenge me in bars every now and then. As long as they're not physical I just walk away, but if they get physical then I just end up in a fight.
I am nothing that isn't professional.
People think by challenging me they're going to show they're tough. But I'm not tough. Decent drinker. Not such a bad kisser. But not a great fighter.
I was a really bad kid. Then, I got sweet as I got older.
It's unfortunate when kids get hurt, but I wish parents would monitor what their kids are doing and watching. It's common sense, really.
Everything you see on screen is real. By doing what we do, there's naturally going to be a lot of grimacing. And whimpering.
I do get obsessed with constantly thinking of ideas, all day long, but that's just how it is.
What calmed me down finally was when my girlfriend got pregnant.
You were about five feet short of a ten feet jump?
I think I'm a little concussed.
You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.
A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.
I just try to think of all the things that could go wrong so in that split second when it happens, maybe your body reacts in a way where it protects you just a little.
I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.
