I think when portraying someone that does exist in real life, there's an amount of respect and you want to do them justice. I don't really care what anybody says out there about what I did in the film I care what these guys thought about what I did. If I'm making them happy, then I know I'm on the right track.

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.

I'm glad that I lost, I'm glad that I failed, I'm glad that I felt that way and decided to do something about it... I never wanted to feel that way again and it drove me.

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.
