Jason Statham

“The action-movie genre is a very difficult one to get satiated in terms of your acting bits.”

“A lot of good actors are turning to TV.”

“How long you can continue to be good at something is how much you believe in yourself and how much hard work you do with the training.”

“Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.”

“Whatever you do, do it to the extreme.”

“I think of Paul Feig as the Scorsese of comedy. He's the best at what he does. I think people just trust everything that he's got to say.”

“I pick up a lot of stuff from them, but I don't think there's any great trick to acting.”

“I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.”

“I'm sure everyone that has ever done an action movie has just drooled over how full of talent Bruce Lee was and how unique he was.”

“I'm certainly not Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.”

“I love getting dressed up in a suit because I don't do it all the time.”

“Bruce Lee was just so lightning-fast. People try to emulate him in whatever way they can, but to try and do what he was doing... you're just inspired by it; you're not trying to say, 'Look, I can do that.' No one can do what he did.”

“I love westerns. It's guys being guys. There's no room for frilly stuff.”

“Take a martial art or a sport, something that gives you a skill, engages the body, and allows you the possibility of being great - or at least being active. You'll find your confidence. Without it, you're nothing. It's the remedy for everything.”

“I don't go in for the high-end gyms with the high-tech equipment and all the fancy stuff.”

“Just because the rest of the people in Hollywood don't do their stunts doesn't mean I don't.”

“We're trying to make a movie that's interesting.”

“A movie, it's like a very complicated timepiece. There's a lot of wheels in a watch. And some of those wheels, if they don't turn right, then, you know, the watch ain't gonna tell the time.”

“The movie style of fighting is completely exaggerated with over-the-top movements. You'd get completely hammered if you fought like that in a real fight situation.”

“For years, I've been wanting to do something that has a bit more of a dramatical drive and combine it with some action.”
