I don't like when I watch a fight in a movie that's perfectly worded and very articulate. If you were able to be that composed, you wouldn't be fighting! Fighting in real life is sloppy.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.

When actors are being defensive and defending their position, that is when you get less than good acting.

Sometimes, as actors, we feel like we want to hold on and control where a character goes.

You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.

As an actor, you think you know your craft, you know the conflicts in your character, but often you don't.

If there is one thing I object to, it's actors talking about how tough their jobs are.

That is the most liberating thing to feel as an actor: that you don't have to hold back or be afraid. A bit might not work, but it doesn't matter.

Today some actors get a little full of themselves about what they're doing.
