“You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.”
“I'm lucky enough to be with someone, and I am happy.”
“I'm just basking in the glory.”
“When I used to go into bars people would try and fight me. Women would punch me 10 years ago or put cigarettes out on my arm or my face. But it doesn't seem to happen any more. They show us a lot of love.”
“The worse the reviews, the better for our demographic.”
“I'm so uncoordinated, I can't really do that much, so my specialty is standing in one spot or holding on to something, like an exploding rocket or a jetski.”
“I do get obsessed with constantly thinking of ideas, all day long, but that's just how it is.”
“Everything you see on screen is real. By doing what we do, there's naturally going to be a lot of grimacing. And whimpering.”
“I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.”
“I don't remember the first stunt I ever did.”
“I was a really bad kid. Then, I got sweet as I got older.”
“I just try to think of all the things that could go wrong so in that split second when it happens, maybe your body reacts in a way where it protects you just a little.”
“If someone hits me I consider it a challenge.”
“A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.”
“I just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.”
“My parents said that I was nine months old and would throw myself out of the crib onto the floor continually. As soon as they left the room after putting me back in they'd hear a big bump and I'd be on the floor again.”
“What calmed me down finally was when my girlfriend got pregnant.”
“'I know this is going to end bad, but I'm going to pretend it's going to end good.' My life's philosophy.”
“I actually got stabbed at my friend's bachelor party. In real life.”
“Everyone gets hurt, but I've probably had the most injuries.”
