I enjoy logic and logic puzzles. And filmmaking is one fun logic puzzle that you gotta win.

I am my own worst critic and I am hell to pay so I just have to do everything to my utmost ability.

Since I do seven different styles of martial arts, I don't foresee myself fighting the same in any two movies. I think every fighting style should fit the character that's doing the fighting.

In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains. They just have a certain agenda at a certain time.

When you don't have much money, you get creative. There's so much money that gets wasted on big movie sets. But when you don't have much money, you improvise.

I enjoy playing real human beings after playing a lot of larger than life characters. I love playing true to life characters and that is what I intend to do for the majority of my career.

Most people say I look mean, and because I play so many tough roles and because of my size and my martial arts background, they think I am, but I'm really not.

To me, the responsibility of an actor is to recreate humanity honestly. I never feel like an actor, I always look at it from a blue collar perspective.

I don't cook. I think they named the 'Mike'-rowave after me.

I love the '70s. I think the '70s had the best music and the best movies.

I go to gyms quite a bit, martial arts gyms, MMA gyms. I try to train with the best people, with who's who in the martial arts, just to keep myself sharp.

I have no trouble with my enemies - I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends... They're the ones that keep me walking the floors at night!

Without encouragement, what is the value of any meaningful relationship

Science gropes and staggers toward improved understanding.

Chronocanine Envy: Sadness experienced when one realized that, unlike one's dog, one cannot live only in the present tense. As Kierkegaard said, "Life must be lived forward.

Law has no skin, reason has no nostrils.

More and more I find that in order to create effectively one has to consider delirium and, yes, organize it.

As for me, I consider myself as a speck of the dust of the devotee's feet.

I'm more about what's right than having the girl's back no matter what.

Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
