Fight scenes are really more like dances than they are fights, because you're depending on your partner to do the right move at the right time. Yes, a tough person or somebody who knows what they're doing will look better in a fight scene, but it also has a lot to do with the other person.

I'm an actor, I do movies, and I need to find somebody who enjoys that kind of stuff. It's not like, Oh, I have my work time, and we go on a date, and it better be darn fun and exciting! I think it should all coalesce a bit more.

Most of the books that I've adapted I'm doing because I love the book and I feel like it's a great work of art in itself, and when it's a great book I feel as a director or a writer that I have a responsibility to rise to the level of the original. It makes me try to reach higher.
