"Mostly weight resistance training, almost an hour of cardio at least three times a week. I have a gym in my house in Los Angeles and a gym trailer that I can take on the road with me when I'm on location. At my house there's a very long steep driveway. I do wind sprints that kick my 50-year-old ass. It's part of my job. I have come to associate working out as work. Whenever I don't have to do it for films, I kind of slack off." - On what he does to stay in shape. (2005) I am a sensitive guy. People think they know the real me, but they don't. And then they write things that make me sound like such a jerk. I hate working out. I work out for films solely. I associate working out with films. As soon as they stop, I stop working out.
