That was a nasty cut; she had a couple stitches in there, ... She's wearing no clothes, so it's hard to protect yourself from any kind of shrapnel that's pinging around in the room. That particular sequence, there was glass, wood and material. ... I got a piece in the wrist and pulled that out, that's expected. It would be nice if we could avoid that kind of thing, but when you're making an action movie it's par for the course.
I'm impressed with the likes of Jet Li and Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee was a big hero of mine for many years. They're great influences.
Me in a cape? I don't fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don't think that's right for me. I just respond more to true stories; that's my flavour.
I was like, 'Well, we'd think he'd be useless around kids,' ... But I think he finds himself more comfortable around children than he realizes.

People like 'Crank,' some people like 'Redemption.' I'm just happy to do things that satiate a different part of me, that test me a little bit.
We were diving in caves. It wasn't totally safe.
The oil sequence was about two or three days. It was very cold and was snowing.
What do you mean for a change, mate? ... There are always more people more sinister than myself.
I'm a massive fan of James Bond, and I've seen every one of the movies. If I was to do that most prestigious role, then I think I would be able to add a new, modern feel to it.
