It's not like I'm dying to do work that's taken seriously, and I'm not looking to become a thespian. It's not what I'm looking for I'm just looking to do quality work.

[On performing in action movies] I've spent all those years learning how to do certain skills, and then that competitive spirit kicks in and you want to do the stunts. Basically, it's the the male competitive ego at work.
