Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.
I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.
Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you're working out, you're going to feel good.
Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I'm interested in practical strength that's going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.
There is something about yourself that you don't know...
I should never go with rumors because they're often not correct.
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
I'm enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.

I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
