"Was I destined to play this role?
I don't know if I was destined to play this role, but I feel very fortunate to be doing so."

"The character comes back from the dead, and, at first he doesn't know where he is, how he got there...How does that tie in with the physicality? I just didn't think he should be too healthy-looking, so I lost some weight for the role."

"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really....How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood..an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being, that you can't even conceive of your life without it?
Perhaps four, five times more. Perhaps not even that.
How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

"It's a great part. My girlfriend keeps telling me that Eric is the symbol of a man who can come back and get justice for people who never got it.That sounds a little heavy to me, but in a way I guess it's true.
Eric and Shelly were engaged, and at a crucial moment it was taken away. There are wonderful people everywhere who have awful things happen to them, who are never given a chance to do anything about it."

"A large part of my life revolves around my dad.
Sometimes,I even feel a strong sense of connection,something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.

"For me, the martial arts is a search for something inside. It's not just a physical discipline.
Because, if it was just a physical discipline, you may as well take up weightlifting, or playing soccer, or baseball, or anything else.
Why is it the martial arts have generated this tremendous interest and excitement that these other things haven't? Because these other things are just surface.
When you see someone who is greatest at what they do, it goes beyond a physical perfection. They don't just go out there and pump their muscles and win.
There's got to be an inner spiritual -whatever it is for them-aspect to what they're doing. That's what the martial arts is to me. I'm trying to develop that. The physical stuff comes along with it, and is an expression of it.
And each move should be an expression of the serenity that's inside.
Because if the move is just a move, then it's just waving your arms about and shouting. And anybody can do that."
