I really like doing action. It's one of those things where I negotiate the world physically, I think, more than mentally. I enjoy running and jumping.

I would love to sing. I would love to do a musical, but I wouldn't say that that singing is my strong suit.

I'm not a political person. When I start to get into it, it just upsets me. I feel so powerless when it comes to politics. So I've just decided to be non-political and very, very pro-soldier.

I was an 80's/90's baby so you went to the movie theater every weekend and there was one on, whether it was Stallone, Van Damme, Seagal or Schwarzenegger himself.

With my career in general, I feel like I'm finally getting to do the roles that I've always wanted to do. It's a slow build you can't ever get the roles that you want in the beginning of your career because you don't have the buzz or the heat, or whatever the hell it is you need for the agents and the studios to be happy.

I was undervalued so I stopped stripping. I was 18 years old and I worked three jobs. This was just one of them, and I really enjoyed performing. It was probably my first performing job ever. I really like to dance, obviously, but then I didn't really love taking the clothes off at the end.

I still want to write Clint Eastwood a letter saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry for all us wimp actors. You're the truth.' I guarantee he's not the person you want to fight, even now! You look at him, and you don't want to mess with him. He would still take you down.

Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.

I know I will never wear sandals now anywhere. I got in a fight in the back of a grocery store when I was really young, like 14 or something. And I remember my feet were so torn up afterwards because I lost my sandals in the middle of the fight. My toenail was missing. It just sucked.

There are so many great stories and characters out there that you can just keep saying, Yes, but you've got to eventually make the decision that if it's something you really want then do it for yourself.

Emmerich knows how to do big, but the trick is in making it (movies) both big and fun.

I have the flying dream a lot where I'm jumping off a building and just flying around.

I'm frustrated when I see movies in which I feel like the plot is being told to me instead of shown to me.

I've always loved movies but everyone loves movies, so I never conceived of the fact that I could actually be in them. In high school I had some friends in the drama department, but they were just doing plays, and I was like, Eh, I don't really think that that's me. So I just played sports. Then, a bunch of years later, I'm acting.

Getting hurt and narrowly escaping death is sort of a thing for me.

I learned to appreciate repetition. That's why I can dance. It's how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition.

In the beginning, I would find a character I understood. That was my focus. Not now - but you basically get offered the exact same thing you just did. Which I find hilarious. I did 'The Vow,' and then I had every love story you can imagine thrown at me. And now I'm getting offers for comedies.

I love the supporting characters because you get to do more, to be totally honest. It's been sort of a theme with me. In Son of No One, I think I might have seven lines in the entire movie because everything is happening to my character.

I like vintage stuff. I go through a vintage store and find things that I feel like I fit right into them because of all the years that they've been used.

I think the action movies in the 80s and 90s were different. It was a testosterone age. Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone - they fuelled my childhood. But now I don't think I'd like to do just action, I don't enjoy that.

Audiences and critics they don't like seeing what happens in real life. Why do you think comedies make all the money at the box office? People want to go and laugh. I can understand that.
