One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.
Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.
We are so used to making empty promises on a daily basis, ... Here's a guy who makes a promise to a kid and risks his own life to keep that word. So I think people think, 'Oh, I wish I could be that good.'
It's the guy who drives the fast cars, can beat up the rest of the guys and gets the girl, ... You could say it's a working-class James Bond. A Bond who drinks Heineken and not Dom Perignon champagne. He's a bit less refined, but still very capable.
I'm used to being efficient and a guy that can do more than the average guy can.
I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.
