    I am responding based on the last quote posted here from him in regards to being a sex symbol. I always had the impression that Steven was a man's man. Most of his audience are men. I haven't heard women call his name in the sexiness ring. Van Damme? hide show

    I have to put Steven in with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I love these guys' movies, but I don't get the broad range of emotion that excellent actors portray or show. I enjoyed him guesting on SNL. I respect his lifestyle, but it makes me shake my head a little when comparing the movies he makes to his philosophy on life. They counter each other. I am sure he is a better teacher than actor!
