I'm really great with weapons: I did a lot of bo and staff training for 'Immortals.' I love knives. I'm a pretty good shot. But I love hand-to-hand combat.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have very good knife skills. I learned to butcher on my second job - I was 18 years old. Every other day we would break down six legs of veal.
Whatever part I'm playing, I always carry with me something that's been used by an illustrious predecessor. I'm a great believer in a touching of hands. I have daggers belonging to Henry Irving and Sarah Siddons.
I've been fascinated with all kinds of weapons my whole life, and as I have been able to afford to acquire pieces, here and there I started to collect.
Don't compete with me: firstly, I have more experience, and secondly, I have chosen the weapons.
I've dealt with a lot of guns over my career, so I'm getting better and better with firearms.
I really feel like knife skills - not just in the kitchen, but in life - are really critical.
Whether I'm playing right now or not, I still have an opportunity to get better in practice. It's like sharpening my blade.
I also have some Chinese weapons, but I like the Japanese sword the best.
The first thing I learned about weapons is respect, and that carries into movies as well. If you're on set and you're dealing with weapons, live or not, you respect the weapon; you know how to handle it appropriately.
My weapon of choice is the nunchuck. I do like the bo as well, which I use, the staff. I'm not so good with the sword, but I picked a lot of stuff up on 'Ninja 1' with the sword.
