Alcatraz is an unsafe place to actually make a movie in many ways because there are cliffs and rotting corroding steel pipes everywhere and old nails sticking up.

I want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.

I never studied dance, but if you look at 'Wild At Heart,' my mother saw that movie and said, 'You are a dancer. Look at how you're moving: all that strange energy is like modern dance.'

The only reason why I tend to pass on a movie is either I don't think I'm right for the material and can't play it honestly, or because of time constraints with personal things in my life.

This Alcatraz swim is something I've wanted to do since I was a kid. Back in 1979 when (the movie) 'Escape from Alcatraz' came out, I thought, 'Heck, I could do that,' ... A few years ago I never thought it would happen. But things change.

One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.
