I just thought, 'I want to be an action hero.'

I don't want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

From when I was young, I wanted to be an action hero. I always dreamed about being an action star. So finally, I made it.

When I started studying acting in New York, I didn't plan to be an action hero. I just wanted to learn acting because I felt it was something I needed to try to do for myself, to express something, my inner pain, or something I couldn't get out.

I want to play everything. I want to be like Christian Bale: I want to be able to be Batman and then, like, his character in 'The Fighter.' That is what is so impressive about really good actors, that they can be character actors and leading men at the same time.

There are so many characters I want to play. I'm greedy about acting.

When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.

I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called 'Blast,' which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I've got the build, the attitude and the look for it.
