For ages, in my lunch hours, I would just go round and choreograph fight scenes. For fun. So now I'm very good at being thrown around. I bounce, in the words of my friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's my style of fighting. I am throwing down, you know? Having fun. And that's my approach to life.
Because I do so many action-oriented films, I started working with stunt people doing fight training, then I found it to be just great exercise. Also I like to be fit, so I've continued on with fight training. Right before I got to do 'Conan,' I was fighting off four guys. Its great fun. And strange.
I've always got into stunts; even at drama school, I was falling down trap doors, and swinging in on ropes.
Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
I am used to doing dramatic work, but its fun to grab a gun, and go running around, getting beat-up. Its fun to do the action stuff, because it is really physical. There is nothing like getting into a character by getting beaten up physically.
I'm relatively physically adept and I like throwing myself around. Once, twice, but then you get to nine, ten, eleven and to try and make it look realistic all the time, that's not very pleasant.
I went to acting school, and I polished my dancing, but I didn't really learn how to fight.
I feel like that's what being creative is: It's you bouncing with emotion and what you capture in those bounces. Accept where you are and use it.
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.
I've sparred with lots of people and played around with everybody.
