Other people must be destroyed. In order that I might truly face the sun, the world itself must be destroyed....

If people talk behind your back, it's because you're ahead of them.

When people are putting pressure on me I just completely ignore it.

No matter how many times people try to criticize you, the best revenge is to prove them wrong.

People who excuse their faults and claim they didn't deserved to be punished - there are lots of them. But those who don't excuse their faults and admit they didn't deserve to be spared - they are few.

For me, it's very important if I do action movies and I have a stunt person, to work with them.
