I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.

[On performing in action movies] I've spent all those years learning how to do certain skills, and then that competitive spirit kicks in and you want to do the stunts. Basically, it's the the male competitive ego at work.

Every sequel needs to be bigger and better.

The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.

I love Tony Jaa. He's one of the best and most capable martial arts stuntmen in the world.

Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.

Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.

It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.

Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He's definitely went to school and trained.

Usually I'm trying to work with people that I've worked with before, so we have a certain amount of know-how and what we're going to do together.

I think that's as far as you have to think, everything happens as a coincidence. It either happens or it doesn't. It's hard to map out a strategic plan by saying, 'If I do that, that's going to get me to the next level.' I think that's the wrong way to go into movies as an actor. It doesn't happen for me that way.

I’m prepared to take risks. And every movie that I do is a risk. No one knows what the movie is going out turn out like.

When I'm getting ready for a movie, let's just say my diet is The Antisocial Diet. I don't go to restaurants. I don't eat what I really want to eat. I don't eat much. I eat small things frequently. Lots of protein and greens. And I don't eat with people, because there's a tendency to get social and then to overeat.

It's not like I'm dying to do work that's taken seriously, and I'm not looking to become a thespian. It's not what I'm looking for I'm just looking to do quality work.

Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.

Once you expose your private life, if you give one little bit, the floodgates are open and everyone's got a free range for you.

I've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.

Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.

You only get one shot in your life and you might as well push yourself and try things. There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations. It's a great, great thing to be involved in if you have the headspace for it, and I do. Try anything once.

I like to relax. Spend it with people that I've grown up with, or people that I care about, and just relax, sit around doing nothing or sitting on a beach.
