man
My favorite show from the '60s was 'Combat.' And maybe 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'
internet
When you want to learn about something, what is the first thing you do... you go to the internet.
bit looked sly tyson watched
I watched the Tyson-Holyfield fight with Stallone. I remember when Tyson bit him, Sly looked at me and said, 'I think he bit him'. I said, 'I think you're right, Rock.'
conan enjoying love physically playing role younger
I love the role I'm playing in 'Conan.' I'm enjoying making the film tremendously. It's very physically demanding. You know, Conan is 28 years younger than me and a big dude, so I have to depend upon my wolf-like wiles to defeat this young bull.
responsibility writing acting
Acting can be a very reactive profession. Acting is a fantastic thing, and it's my life, but writing is also part of me too, so I did it, and in so doing, took responsibility for my own life.
lonely thinking roots
My Hamlet was about as alienated as you can get. Mine was a bitter and lonely prince. Valid, I think, but maybe tough to root for. I think that romance was missing.
tv-shows robins rama
I loved Laurel and Hardy and TV shows like 'Robin Hood' and 'Rama of the Jungle'.
body shapes want
I was relatively buff (before 'Avatar'), because I was working in a tanktop half the time on stage, anyway, but I just went kind of into hyperdrive after that and really worked to beat that old body into shape, to get that carcass where...I didn't want to be looking at it and see anything hanging where it shouldn't be hanging.
trying scripts ifs
You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.
interesting bravery theme
There are themes that somehow stir me and that I find very interesting. They're themes that deal with leadership, the nature of bravery and courage, and how to define those.
myopic stories television
With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. Failing to renew 'Terra Nova' is shortsighted, as myopic as it would have been to scrap the Hubble. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.
basketball yoga games
As you get older, stuff starts to wear down. I can't play four basketball games a week anymore. It takes me three days to recover from one. I'm a little older, a little scrappier. So now I do yoga instead. And whatever else happens in the day, I'm set up in the best way possible. I feel great. I'm so flexible.
determination way fortitude
Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.
calling
When Steven Spielberg comes calling, it behooves you to seriously consider it.
