I hope my talent has something to do with it. I just think this business is so crazy. I obviously do the best I can, and the directors I admire see something in me. But this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. So that's why I say I'm lucky. I don't feel that I'm not talented - I think I am talented - but I also think I'm very lucky.

I was well aware of that when I heard they were remaking 'Total Recall. ' My first reaction was: 'Ewww, really okay?' And the director said you should really look at it, the script is good. I had already done a remake. I had just finished 'Fright Night. ' When I heard about that being remade, I had a whole ego thing. . . remake?. 'That is so uncool! I loved the original, I can't possibly do that'.
