If something were to happen right now, I will grab you and we will get out of here.
The hell with everybody else.
So Dwayne, it seems like if there is a catastrophe happening it's always good to be around you.
Apparently I'm pretty good at helping a few people.
It was awesome. It was an honor to play this guy.
I've been saying this because we've been doing a lot of press but I mean this.
I don't know if I ever get another opportunity to play a guy like this
Between movies I played in the past and characters I played in the past
they have all been fun, they have kinda been cool, they've kicked ass,
they have done a lot of things that are pretty good.
In the case of Ray Gaines, there's not a lot of bad guys running around with guns.
there's not big action fights or anything, you are dealling with mother nature
and that is way more tougher then anything I ever faced in any movie.
It was an honor playing this guy, he is really a special character
and I hope to play anything like him again in the future.
In the movie your survival skills were like first class, how about in real life? Could you survive?
In the movie my survival skills are first-class, in real-life my survival skills are like economy
You could handle like a few days?
I can handle it yes. I'm pretty good with pain, I'm pretty good thinking on my feet.
But these guys, they're special. Like Ray is a special guy.
I can take care of myself, maybe one other person.
Let's say you have to leave home and have to take shelter somewhere.
Your family and pets are already save and you could only take one thing, what would you take?
That's easy. She has my phone - I would take my phone, I have to take my phone.
Not to make phone calls, because you can't make calls, the lines are down.
I have images in my phone that cannot ever get out so I have to have it.
You know what I am saying. I know what you mean.
The research was fantastic. I learned a great deal amount from these men and women.
These helicopter pilots are very very special guys, the number one thing I learned is just really how special they are.
Especially these first responders because again it's like the old adage that
in the face of adversity, if something were to happen right now,
I will grab you and we get out of here. The hell with everybody else.
But then the first responders will come in and they would run into this adversity
into the fear, into the fire, into the earthquake, into the damage,
and it requires you to be a certain type of person.
So the lessons I learned from those guys I would take with me for life
Thank you so much!
