I just have more fun when I get to try new things – and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
I think I’m much more afraid of making a mistake in raising my daughters than I would be with any work that I do, as an actor. It’s a much higher scale of fear, raising kids.
After I did the first Die Hard I said I’d never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
You wouldn’t want to see a movie where the bad guys triumph over the good guys all the time. You’d get bummed out, and you’d just stay at home and watch the news.
