Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.
So I used to put money in my pocket while working on the street corners, selling perfume and jewelry, and other goods that were supposedly expensive.
My first day was on the Champs-Elysees roundabout, which is about five lanes. That was my first day behind the wheel of a French car.
A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don't get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that's made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.

I'm prepared to take risks. And every movie that I do is a risk. No one knows what the movie is going out turn out like.
And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble.
I like Jackie [Chan] because I've been a fan of Jackie's forever. He's broken every bone in his body for his commitment and dedication to doing his own stunts. So he's the real deal.
