Quotes

• “I’m trying to bring the real man back to Hollywood. Steve McQueen — that whole thing. There hasn’t been that for a long time. A real man is what every man wants to be and every woman wants to (have sex with). A real man is not somebody who has to play a real man; he just is a real man.”

• “I’m an alpha male, what else can I say?”

I want people to look at me and say, ‘Now there’s a guy that can go under a (inappropriate) car and fix the transmission, and ride a horse, and take out a motorcycle. And when you’re with him, you feel like he’s a man.’ Right now what I feel like in Hollywood is they’re so pretty and dainty and metro that it’s repulsive to me.”

Who is working in our day and age that’s a real man?"
