What happens in Hollywood
isn't real - it's about diversion. What I'm trying to do is
just entertain people. I'm proud to be an entertainer.

I know a lot of actors who are just as talented
as I am who haven't caught the breaks that I have caught and
at a certain point I really do begin to wonder why me?

- I've made the
choice of playing him as a guy who doesn't want to be doing
what he has to... McClane's in
situations where he has absolutely no other choice... He's a
policeman with a sense of duty to the public.

I'm very pleased with what I do for a living. For me
it's very rewarding to entertain people and I'm still a big
fan of the magic of film,
which if you break it down to its essential components really
is just a group of strangers coming into a dark room and sitting
next to each other and looking at flashes of light on a screen
for a few hours. If the movie's good enough and interesting
enough within fifteen minutes, you're drawn into that world
and that is a magical thing.

- I really haven't figured out this
whole acting
thing yet. Every film I do, I learn a little bit more and
I try different things and working with Night, especially
the second time, I was afforded the opportunity to really
go for a more subtle performance because the part was written
that way. It's far more interesting to me than running down
the street with a gun in my hand screaming. So I'm trying
to do things that challenge me and that I'm not necessarily
sure that I can succeed at, because then if you do succeed,
you get the reward of knowing you've accomplished something.
