Whats it like when the cameras start rolling? Is there a certain testosterone factor?
JM: They did everything I told them to! (LAUGHS) No. I got really lucky because I’m working with real actors. It didn’t feel like there was a whole bunch of ego going on, which I’m sure there could have been given that I was the lead in it. It didn’t feel that way at all. It felt like an ensemble through and through. I couldn’t do what I was doing without them. They couldn’t do what they were doing without me. I didn’t feel like I was the big star. We all had the same size trailers. We were all eating the same food. Of course, they got to eat more than I did. But it was all good. In fact, it was really helpful. Gabriel and Ron would always say to me, “You’re the hero.” But I do take my work seriously. One of the big issues in the movie – that Steve Beck and I would argue over all the time -was whether I cried in certain sequences. I would ask “Would Schwarzenegger cry? I don’t think so. Would Stallone cry? No.” I only cry once in this movie. It’s when Murphy dies. That’s the only thing
