Anthony Bourdain is a legend and an inspiration for me.

Israel changed my life. It is one of the most amazing countries that I have ever been to.

I can see parts of my father in 'Kingdom' when I rage like that. I can see my father's frustrations in his life.

A tough guy, to me, stands for something, and he's not afraid to get a beating.

Being an actor can be a lonely life.

I grew up with no money. No money. I always struggled and had the sense that there was this other class of people who went to college - this was when I was younger.

What people don't know is that I'm a blackbelt in jujitsu, which I've been for 20 years, and I've been boxing since I've been 15 years old - those are things that come natural to me.

I'm a physical person - I like to get hit.

The things that make me saddest - when I got into my head - if anything were to happen to me, and my wife were to have to go to my kids and say 'Daddy's gone.' Worst thing I could imagine.

I'm a believer in getting punched in the face. I know it sounds cliched, but to me, fighting is a metaphor for life.

The soap opera was so long ago - the thing about soap operas, and there's something to be said for doing it, but you do a script a day. I don't want to say it's a training ground; it really isn't, but what it does teach you is discipline.

My friend Liam Neeson has managed to carve out a great place in the industry for himself and is still doing action movies at 64 years old. He's my hero. I use him as a template. My middle kid, Liam, is named after him. He's one of the coolest guys in Hollywood.

'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is one of my top three movies.

A lot of times, especially with TV, I would get these scripts, and I'm like, 'Oh, they want me to be the good-looking guy who's a little bit of a rascal.' It's just boring.

You've got to go out there and do your things. Whatever comes your way, you jump on it, and like anything, that's how you get your experience.

I did 'The Grey,' and it was very intense and emotional because we're in the wilderness, and it was always 30 degrees. You kind of lose your sense of reality in the fact that you're filming a movie.

I was a wrestler. I played football, lacrosse. After high school, I got into jujitsu. I boxed my whole adult life.

I'm not really enamored by movie stars.

What I look for in a role is the physical. But what's the journey emotionally? Can I take this person who is this archetypal tough guy and find the beauty?
