My background is all comedy. I've been doing improv since I was 17. It's funny, because when I meet people, I'm known as this guy who will punch you in the face or throw you out a window, when I also have a background in comedy.
The funny thing is, I've never really hurt myself in an action movie. I've done 'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like...
I don't love horror movies with something surreal happening. That doesn't work for me. What's terrifying is something that could actually happen to me and what I would do. I don't know how to throw a punch, and I've never had to do it.
We can also cut by heat - heat punch. And we also can cut by cold - extreme cold. When you cut with heat, it makes a mark. With cold, no mark. It depends on the fabric.
If you have the right voice and the right delivery, you're cocky enough, and you pound down on the punch line, you can say anything and make people laugh maybe three times before they realize you're not telling jokes.
My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.
I, of course, wanted to play real jazz. When we played pop tunes, and naturally we had to, I wanted those pops to kick! Not loud and fast, understand, but smoothly and with a definite punch.
A day-time song like 'Word Starts Attack,' I want to make your heart blow up and make you want to punch the air with your fist. It can't be ponderous.
None of the editors I've worked with have ever asked me to pull my punches. They've never asked me to give them anything other than my own interpretation of events.
I don't think people can watch University of Texas basketball or football games with me - really, anything Texas is playing - without wanting to punch me in the face. I'm as big a Longhorn fan as you'll find.
We all have those days when you feel like you're against the world, every little thing goes wrong and your blood pressure is up. And you feel like punching somebody!
Frank Booth: Here's to Ben! [Frank punches Jeffrey in the face] Frank Booth: Say, "Here's to Ben." Jeffrey Beaumont: [scared to death] Here's to Ben. Frank Booth: Be polite!
Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World' is my ultimate karaoke song. It is a wonderful world. People forget we only have a certain amount of time, and it can all end at any moment. Armstrong and Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' are the ultimate one-two pu...
After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off - and punched back in at the same time. I don't know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.
[There's this joke: about the prizefighter who enters the ring, and his brother turns to the family priest and says, "Father, pray for him." And the priest said, "I will, but if he can punch, it'll help."]
Hans: Anna? But she froze your heart. Anna: The only frozen heart around here is yours. [she turns away from Hans, then quickly turns around again to punch him into the lake]
Perry: I'd understand if you wanted to take a swing at me... Perry: [Harry lands a quick punch to Perry's chin] You fuck!
Dog: Where the fuck did she come from? [Punches Gloria] Dog: That is it. Tie her up. We're outta here.
Turkish: All he's gotta do is stay down. [Mickey suddenly rises from the mat and knocks out Anderson with a single punch] Turkish: *Now* we are fucked.
[Lucas has just punched Scott to the ground. He turns to Ramona] Lucas Lee: 'Sup? How's life? He seems nice.
Tom Conlon: Not much of a woman's touch around here. Paddy Conlon: No women for me anymore, Tommy. Tom Conlon: Yeah. Must be tough to find a girl who could take a punch nowadays.
