Modeling was successful for me. I didn't have to wait tables or anything like that, so that was nice. And I got to see the entire world.

More quotes by 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'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 do want to take some time and reinvent and get better and maybe get behind the camera a little more. I do want to direct at some point and start failing really early - start shooting videos and then commercials and then hopefully do some narrative.
Channing Tatum
I would love to sing. I would love to do a musical, but I wouldn't say that that singing is my strong suit.
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 do get nervous to act, it kind of depends on what it is really.
Channing Tatum
Well, the first and only time I went hunting, I shot a deer, and it mortified me. I just couldn't do it again. But I know a lot about guns, so I go to the gun range and stuff like that with friends sometimes.
Channing Tatum
I was an 80's/90's baby so you went to the movie theater every weekend and there was one on, whether it was Stallone, Van Damme, Seagal or Schwarzenegger himself.
Channing Tatum
With my career in general, I feel like I'm finally getting to do the roles that I've always wanted to do. It's a slow build you can't ever get the roles that you want in the beginning of your career because you don't have the buzz or the heat, or whatever the hell it is you need for the agents and the studios to be happy.
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
I see caring for somebody as a creative outlet. I like drawing little faces and writing little stories and hiding them in places. I don't think it's that hard to be thoughtful, especially when you do care about the person.
Channing Tatum
I have the flying dream a lot where I'm jumping off a building and just flying around.
Channing Tatum
I've got great genetics from parents, and I'm not moaning that I have such a hard life. Trust me it's worked out so much more in the positive then the negative.
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 do generally all my stuff [stunts] except for motorcycles and cars, that stuff I don't know how to do as well as certain people do.
Channing Tatum
Waxing was an interesting experience. Not quite as painful as I expected.
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 consider myself a decent athlete but when I started to train martial arts like Kung Fu, I realised it had nothing to do with how athletic you are. It's all mental. It's what you know, how you use it and your mental toughness and composure. It's incredible.
Channing Tatum
I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives, but for the most part I never really regret, and I try to always remain positive. Yes, I think that those issues are very interesting to play in a character, and they're prominent issues in life, and I think people can relate to them.
Channing Tatum
Truthfully, this is how I approach my workout: I want to be the best athlete I can possibly be. If I can out-perform some of the better athletes then I'm happy. When I look at the NFL or the NBA, these guys look how I want to look - it's useable, functional muscle.
