I'm frustrated when I see movies in which I feel like the plot is being told to me instead of shown to me.

More quotes by 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
My parents let me find my way and that's how they supported me the entire way.
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 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 don't think there's a date minimum or maximum. I don't get the whole 'All right, you've got to wait three days to call after the date.' If I got a number from a girl, I'd call that night. There's no science to it for me. You just do what it is that you feel like doing.
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
Everyone always talks about the speed of New York, and I still walk slow around New York, and everyone is walking faster than me all the time, and I notice it every time we go out.
Channing Tatum
As actors you're always afraid to go too far but Lasse Hallstrom wants you to go too far. He wants you to do it wrong, to be over-the-top, and that's so freeing to be able to think 'Now I can try and be bad'. There's no pressure on you and you don't feel you can make a mistake.
Channing Tatum
I'm not a fighter. I'm not a tough guy at all. I walk away from fights.
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
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
Getting hurt and narrowly escaping death is sort of a thing for me.
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
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.
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 think the best thing to try to do is allow your daughter or your son to know that they can come to you for anything. If you can break down that wall so they don't feel embarrassed by telling you things, that's half the battle.
Channing Tatum
Whatever the fighting is - boxing, fighting, Judo, Thai boxing, it's how much you know doing that. Some people just know how some people move.
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 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 have the flying dream a lot where I'm jumping off a building and just flying around.
