“Because I do so many action-oriented films, I started working with stunt people doing fight training, then I found it to be just great exercise.

“Quite often on a movie like Total Recall you have this training period of two or three months where, like on the first 'Underworld' I was doing gymnastics and trampolining and all this stuff which I don't do in the movie necessarily, but mentally it helps.

“And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity - it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country.

“I think it would help if, when people are first ordained, they underwent a period of strict training, maybe for several years.
