I've always believed my success in the entertainment business is an inevitability. You have to believe that; you have to be an optimist.
I always wanted to play a boxer because some of my favorite films, as a boy, were those great boxing movies, like 'Raging Bull', 'Rocky', 'The Set Up', 'Fat City and Hard Times'. I just loved those films.
I love boxing. I really respect the guys and admire the guys who do it. But, I'm very, very happy with my career as an actor. I made the right choice and things are really working out for me right now, but I won't pretend that there isn't a part of me that always secretly wanted to be a boxer.
I love boxing, and boxing has always been my favorite sport. I was always into it, and I boxed recreationally all of my life.
The greatest gift that an actor can have is good scripts because then you're relieved of the responsibility of trying to elevate the material.
