My parents couldn't handle my energy so they enrolled me in every sport the school was offering. I didn't resent it because I loved sports and picked them up easily.

More quotes by Channing Tatum
Waxing was an interesting experience. Not quite as painful as I expected.
Channing Tatum
I think, even a lot of people that make movies forget is that, in my mind, a movie should work with the sound off. You should be able to watch a movie without the sound and understand what's going on. That's your job, to build a series of chronological images that tell the story.
Channing Tatum
I like vintage stuff. I go through a vintage store and find things that I feel like I fit right into them because of all the years that they've been used.
Channing Tatum
I've loved Kevin McDonald's movies for a while and it was an amazing experience because he really wanted to do something different. It was by far one of the hardest things I've ever done, to wake up every single day and know that you're going to be freezing cold and wet, every single day, 10 times a day, and there's no getting away from it.
Channing Tatum
It comes down to the experience of it. The more you fight, the more you know, the more you can use in the ring.
Channing Tatum
There are so many dramatic actors where I would give all of my anything to have their careers, but I don't think I can try to follow anyone.
Channing Tatum
I still want to write Clint Eastwood a letter saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry for all us wimp actors. You're the truth.' I guarantee he's not the person you want to fight, even now! You look at him, and you don't want to mess with him. He would still take you down.
Channing Tatum
I don't know if I've ever written anything that's not a bill! I do write stories but I don't put a stamp on them. I wrote a story for my wife over Christmas and gave it to her as a present because she asked me to, but I don't put a stamp on things and send them to people.
Channing Tatum
I think the action movies in the 80s and 90s were different. It was a testosterone age. Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone - they fuelled my childhood. But now I don't think I'd like to do just action, I don't enjoy that.
Channing Tatum
I'm frustrated when I see movies in which I feel like the plot is being told to me instead of shown to me.
Channing Tatum
If my Dad doesn't like you, you will know. My Mom is just too innocent to ever lie. She doesn't even cuss.
Channing Tatum
I had people in my life who were insane and negative, but they taught me how not to be, how I didn't want to end up.
Channing Tatum
I love the supporting characters because you get to do more, to be totally honest. It's been sort of a theme with me. In Son of No One, I think I might have seven lines in the entire movie because everything is happening to my character.
Channing Tatum
I'm not a fighter. I'm not a tough guy at all. I walk away from fights.
Channing Tatum
I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It's just, will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends, or just relax? I don't know if it's best to say opening up, but just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear.
Channing Tatum
You don't need to like any of the characters, as long as you can understand why and where they're from. Why do you need to like any of the characters in the movie? That's not how life is. You don't like everyone that you meet.
Channing Tatum
I don't want any sports anymore, except fighting which is the only sport I really watch - whether it's boxing or UFC. I don't know why. I think maybe it's an aspiration I didn't get the chance to explore more, but I don't think my father expected anything from me, I think it's more what I put on myself.
Channing Tatum
My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.
Channing Tatum
If you're with someone you don't exactly trust then you have to watch yourself and that's the hardest thing for an actor not to do, and not listen to yourself as you're talking.
Channing Tatum
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug Want to kill ya song, I'm ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I'm very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
Channing Tatum
