Quotes
I have never believed
in being part of any one group or camp.
It takes two hands to clap! I cannot
be solely blamed for what happened in my relationships! If things
soured, it happened because of both parties. Not just me!
Controversies are a package deal in
this industry. You just have to understand that and accept it.
I'll do at least one action film every
year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
