They would yell everything you saw in the movie and then they’d look back at Woody and go, ‘Yeah, Woody, you’re the man! We love you Woody!’ and then they’d turn back to me, ‘Take...

You can’t control those things. When they happen, it’s great, but if you put too much emphasis on that, you lose track of what you’re supposed to be doing and the work itself.

I am not for the death penalty and so making this film did not change my point of view. I think it made me more aware of how ineffective it is.

Action films have been very testosterone-driven, not that that’s a bad thing. But there is an interesting sexuality that I don’t think has been that well explored in that action world, which is something women...

This happens everywhere, … It ‘ s not like something that happened in the sixties, it ‘ s a lot more recent than that.
