Quentin and I were constantly finding something new that we had in common and comic books were one of them. I think we were talking about comic books much earlier in our relationship, before I had the part.
My big fight is not in the movie and I don`t understand that decision but I know he`s right about it, whatever it is. Quentin did not hire me because I`m a kung fu expert; he hired me because he liked to listen to me talk.
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn`t do that. I just started doin` it in front of an audience and had to deliver.
It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don`t need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift.
