The success of 'The Fighter' made it a lot easier to get 'Broken City' green-lit. And the buzz about 'The Fighter' also made it a lot easier to get 'Contraband' green-lit.
The only thing I don't like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints.
My sons and I thoroughly enjoy Legos. We go to the toy store every week for more. I never want to take what we build apart; I want to put it on a shelf. My wife is starting to get a little annoyed with the Legos lying around.
If I succeed in business but fail as a father, then I've failed.
Justin Bieber is like the white Tupac. Compared to a lot of people.
The world is very different today than it was in 1968.
The environment I was raised in, you had to, to survive.
I don't wanna hear nobody complain that they're getting paid all this money and people won't leave them alone. It's part of it.

I have more money now than I know what to do with.
Immortality... Is that a super power?
I'm the father of two boys and two girls, so I'm more an emotional wreck than a mushball.
