I couldn't pick up a sword and go fight anyone, let me put it that way. It's choreography and it's acting. The best sword fights you see look amazing, but it's the acting that sells it more than anything.

Sword fighting is just as fun as it looks on the screen.

Working on the Samurai sword is very different because your body position has to be very still. It's a much quieter was of fighting.

Give me a sword fight any day.

Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.

I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.

Every time you do a big sword fight surrounded by a couple of hundred extras, it's a fun day at work.

I love doing fight scenes. I've been a dancer since I was 3 years old, so I think that helped me with the movements.

A sword in hand is a sure sign of a violent mind; but one does not become non-violent merely by throwing the sword away.

Martial arts is like dance. It's so beautiful and what I love about the martial arts mostly is that what it basically says is you take their energy and you redirect it. Then if you need to, use it on them. That whole thing about redirecting energy I love.
