It's like a dance, to choreograph a fight is like a dance. It's very specific. You have to carefully plan it out. Because if someone gets hurt, then we didn't do our job, someone screwed up. The fight choreographers and the actors involved, we messed up somewhere.

Let me demonstrate. When you greet a friend this is the duration of the kiss that's acceptable. Hi, good to see you - yeah. When you make a mistake and stay too long at the lips, this is how long it is. Hi, how are you? Good to see you. And that's what happened. It was like, Uh-oh, what was that? Oh.

In fact, I told our dear friends, the Burrell boys, five boys lived next door to us. Why, we don't see your dad anymore? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He - I lied. I said, He comes home at night when you guys are in bed. He gets us up and we play. I said it so much that I started to believe it myself, you know?
