[In 1994] I used to be 6′ 4″. Now that I’m old, I slouch. So I’m 6′ 3″.
Most of the stuff I do is garbage.

I go to see maybe seven films a year at the most, and since I only go to see the best, it follows that I very rarely see my own.

[on filming Without Warning (1980)] I don’t particularly care for the so-called Method style of acting, but I was madder than hell at that alien.

I just want to keep working. I’m lucky to be working. I’m kind of exhausted by the constant need to brand yourself-that’s a very prevalent way of living as an actor nowadays. I don’t want to be pigeonholed, I don’t want people to look at me and see one thing. I don’t want to be a thing. I want to be a human.

[on how did he get and maintain six pack abs for Kingsman: The Secret Service] In order to do that you have to eat so strictly in order to maintain something like that and it has to become a real lifestyle. That extreme is not one I could maintain all the time, it’s a real commitment to living a certain way. You have to do a certain amount of gym hours a week and you have to be pretty militant with yourself with regards to what you eat. If we ever decide to do another Kingsman I would certainly do it again. It’s fantastically enjoyable when you do do it, you feel wonderful. To see my body transform and then to have that there forever on screen is quite a nice feeling. For generations to come, we can all…

“It was the best thing that happened to me all week – to say the very least…I was so flattered. I thanked him and told him how much I hoped we would have a chance to work together one day.” – talking about when she was complimented by actor Jake Gyllenhaal shortly after arriving in Hollywood. Just three weeks later, she was working with him on Moonlight Mile (2002)!!

I think to call my mom and I best friends is almost an insult to our relationship. She’s the greatest in the whole wide world, and I don’t feel closer to anyone. She’s a pillar of strength, and she doesn’t flaunt it. She has this will – she just knows she can get through things. It’s inspiring.

I’m a giver. I have learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves. It’s a lesson in self-preservation that I’m still learning. If you don’t have yourself, you have nothing to give.

[on his roles] I’ve always been invited through the back door. It hasn’t been easy for me. I would never have gotten the jobs I did without the advent of cable television, which brought back the kinds of raw, authentic leading actors you had in the seventies: [Robert] Duvall, Ed Harris, Tommy Lee Jones.

Born: November 10, 1967 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

I met Jean Claude on Universal Soldier, part 1. I was “Soldier #2.” Jean Claude and I trained together on that movie and always got along great. Years later, in the sequel, we got along just as well. This was the first movie where I showed a bit of my martial arts skills. Unfortunately, the script and the director were not very good. I wanted to show myself when compared to a martial arts icon like Van Damme. I achieved my purpose.
