Quoted
-
“Action films are definitely a lot of training and I do a lot of my own stunts, so I definitely am in there for the long haul for the training process.”
—About.com -
“I was craving bone marrow one day, and I scoured the whole of Paris searching for the leg of a cow. When I finally found what I was looking for, I cut it in half, digging out the yellowish substance, slathering it all over bread.”
—Grazia magazine
