“Avatar definitely had a purpose and will always have a very special place in my heart because it was the one film that I got to shoot for two years. Usually, we only shoot for three months and you have this amazing time with the cast, and the director, and the crew. And then the film lives forever for you guys, but our experiences of shooting that will only live for three months, and sometimes we feel cheated. Working with an amazing director like James Cameron, and working with Sam Worthington who I just — he’s one of the most selfless actors I’ve ever met. We’re literally like brother and sister now. But not incestual!”

“I’m a renaissance man, a guy who is upset about what’s going on — people getting these chips put in their brains that control them — and is one of the guys trying to stop it… It’s intense, I guarantee it. It’s a movie by [writers and co-directors] Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the guys that did ‘Crank’ with Jason Statham. And I also worked with Gerard on [the upcoming Guy Ritchie film] ‘RockNRolla,’ so that’s great, it makes it smoother when you get to know people. It’s definitely going to be a great sci-fi film.”

In other rapper news: Ghostface Killah wants to know if he’ll be in Iron Man 2.

“…It’s not everyday you get a call like that where, ‘James Cameron wants to see you for this role.’ You just know that it’s going to be amazing. To go from J.J Abrams to James Cameron is such a wonderful opportunity. It’s beautiful because you know that [Avatar]’s going to be something special and very amazing. It took him 10 years between projects because he works so hard and pays attention to detail. It’s undenialably exquisite. That’s pretty much what attracted me.”

“…When I looked back over the comic books, all of the different iterations of Iron Man and Rhodey that there have been, the one thing that seemed like it was always there was this friendship. There was a real friendship and underlying kinship. I was always asking, ‘Where did it come from? What’s it based on? How tenuous is it, now that Tony is kind of a free agent and Rhodey is a military man? How does that work?’ That’s what drove my questions about our relationship for the whole movie.”
