With 'The Expendables,' you have such a brilliant mess of the greatest action stars of all time, so you're in for the ride with those people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wasn't offered a role in 'Expendables 1,' and I'm a guest star in 'Expendables 2.'
I think we have a responsibility to shape the zeitgeist with the movies we put out there. Because 'After Earth' isn't going to do it. 'The Expendables 3' isn't going to do it. You could make one million amazing films for the amount of money they spend on those films. I get frustrated.
It's a blessing to be given a variety of roles to what I call an iconic action actor like myself.
If you want to do a female version of 'The Expendables,' I'll be in that one.
I'm not really enamored by movie stars.
Nowadays, the truth is, I think a lot of the newer generation of action stars usually are pretty self-deprecating and cool. I mean, Dwayne Johnson is a great example.
But at the end of the day, every star, every person that been iconic, has gone through a time in their lives where it was just bad. Everybody. It just made them better.
Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible.
Being an action star is all I had ever hoped to be. I ultimately knew I would be an action star.
I'd love to do 'The Expendables.' It's just a kick in the pants.
