I am hungry for power, but not to lord over others; only to own myself.
I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
I think the best type of action movie combines a love story with the action.
I enjoy what I do, but it's more challenging than people think.
