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.

More quotes by 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.

Playing a character that allows me to play around with some of the feelings I have inside of myself and explore them - and maybe put them to rest a little bit, or at least come to terms with them - feels successful to me. I think it's about believing in what you do.
Channing Tatum
I learned to appreciate repetition. That's why I can dance. It's how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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 went hunting, I shot a deer, and it mortified me. I just couldn't do it again.
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
The director sets the tone, and if someone's ruling it with an iron fist, people are quiet and the days go long in my experience, when there's a very serious tone, the days just drag. When there's someone who, in between takes, is joking or laughing the days go quick.
Channing Tatum
Actually I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming.
Channing Tatum
Channing does a very good impersonation of men at female strip joints.
Channing Tatum
I think that the divorce rate's over 50% for a reason. I don't think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.
Channing Tatum
Getting hurt and narrowly escaping death is sort of a thing for me.
Channing Tatum
I can't do the same movies all my life. I'm conscious of that. But it's a trade-off. 'Dear John' allowed me to do movies I've wanted to do. You learn to balance it out. I'm still learning. Only now am I getting to do the kinds of movies that I have wanted to do. So it's a steady climb. You don't jump into a Soderbergh film.
Channing Tatum
I'm not political. I just want America to do well, I want the world to do well. I want everyone to stop fighting.
Channing Tatum
I was undervalued so I stopped stripping. I was 18 years old and I worked three jobs. This was just one of them, and I really enjoyed performing. It was probably my first performing job ever. I really like to dance, obviously, but then I didn't really love taking the clothes off at the end.
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.
