“I don't think I am that tough, actually. Well, tough in the sense that I don't take any rubbish, and that doesn't make me very popular, frankly. I mean, because some people say something to me, and I just tell them off. I mean, why should I put up with it?”

“I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.”

“Frankly speaking, acting offers do come my way.”
