| Quotes: |
I remember Berlin. Berlin to me was the star of the film. I loved for six months that we filmed there.
<br />
<hr>
I've done a lot of that kind of work before, anyway, and I was in good hands.
<br />
<hr>
I would take lots of falls and you know, get shot three or four times and this sort of thing, so all that sort of stuff. And there are tussles with various characters. I like that kind of thing.
<br />
<hr>
Repetition on things like that becomes quite painful. If you do a stunt sometimes it can look like a stunt.
<br />
<hr>
I'm relatively physically adept and I like throwing myself around. Once, twice, but then you get to nine, ten, eleven and to try and make it look realistic all the time, that's not very pleasant. |
