“We did martial arts. We trained with the Navy SEALs. We got to shoot a lot of guns. It was very exhilarating! I was bawling my eyes out because they push you so hard. But it’s amazing what you find from it. When you go so far you find a certain Zen within that and you know you can do anything. It’s very empowering.”

Truthfully, when you have the right chemistry, you can do anything with very little oxygen and food because it's like oxygen.”

"But the smaller stuff, when you start breaking it apart, nothing is harder than a coffee shop scene in 'Sex and the City' because it's just little bits and clips."
