I've said that movies are the highest stakes make-believe game in the world, and this is truly the most highest stakes.

More quotes by 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
Just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear.
Channing Tatum
I had a bad stutter when I was really young. I couldn't get a sentence out. Like, 'D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ad.' And that turned into a mumble.
Channing Tatum
There is a lot of underground type of fighting going on and some of it is not safe, it's pretty brutal. But it's absolutely fascinating.
Channing Tatum
I've always loved movies but everyone loves movies, so I never conceived of the fact that I could actually be in them. In high school I had some friends in the drama department, but they were just doing plays, and I was like, Eh, I don't really think that that's me. So I just played sports. Then, a bunch of years later, I'm acting.
Channing Tatum
I've always had way too much energy so I'm always looking for new things to do to channel that energy.
Channing Tatum
I do get nervous to act, it kind of depends on what it is really.
Channing Tatum
I have a theory that as nice and sweet as you can be equates to how dangerous you can be.
Channing Tatum
You don't try any less hard on the ones that don't. I've gotten lucky to work with some amazingly talented people that have helped the ones that have worked work. I think you just have to keep doing the stories you love and the characters that you love and are drawn to.
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
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 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 want a career and the thing is you really have to love acting. I didn't just fall into it and it wasn't just something I was good at. I've had to really work at this. I've had to fall on my face time and time again. You get 'no' 99 per cent of the time and a 'yes' just once.
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
If I want to do action, you don't really get to do it. They don't let you, there's too much on the line to let you jump out of a building.
Channing Tatum
I know I will never wear sandals now anywhere. I got in a fight in the back of a grocery store when I was really young, like 14 or something. And I remember my feet were so torn up afterwards because I lost my sandals in the middle of the fight. My toenail was missing. It just sucked.
Channing Tatum
I've never protected the president [in real life], but I have been a new dad, and I can tell you that being a new dad is pretty terrifying. I'm pretty sure that something about the president makes the stakes a little higher, but to me as a new father, nothing is more important or scary than protecting a daughter.
Channing Tatum
Someday you'll miss her like she missed you. Someday you'll need her like she needed you. Someday you'll love her and she won't love you.
Channing Tatum
I did kung fu from when I was nine to 13. You have to be really careful but you want to be able to make it look eventually as though it's just a part of you. So, you train over and over and over again.
Channing Tatum
You can't fake wrestling. We can fake punch, but with wrestling you just have to go ahead and do it. You really need to see the hand hit the face, the head butting and everything.
Channing Tatum
