Our daughter's lying there between us, and I looked over at my lady and said, ‘Baby, our place is gone!' I just turned to my daughter and started kissing her. ‘That's why you came, my girl.

You know the most seasoned veterans, we always want to see what the young guys, the young crew, has to offer. If they learn something and if they bring something to the table or if they should just be written off.

I'm a movie fan in general, but I'm definitely an action fan, as well.
