A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

They're called 'action scenes' because they do the acting for you. You don't have to act in action scenes. The action does it all for you. It's great.

I'm not a fan of action movies.

I think it's much harder to have a long dialogue scene than an action scene. An action scene is long, but it's not really hard. It's kind of boring, really. It looks good at the end, but to shoot it, it's not the most exciting thing.

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.

I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.

Movies are different from real life.

That's the challenging thing with TV; it's not the action scenes per se, and it's not the location scenes and the heavy dialog scenes, but the fact that there is just no let-up; there is no break.

In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
