More quotes by Jason Statham
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.

I'm not a method actor I hope you know that!
Jason Statham
The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.
Jason Statham
I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.
Jason Statham
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
Jason Statham
I've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.
Jason Statham
Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He's definitely went to school and trained.
Jason Statham
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.

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

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.
Jason Statham
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.
Jason Statham
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
Jason Statham
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.
Jason Statham
I've come from nowhere, and I'm not shy to go back.
Jason Statham
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set and you're working out, you're going to feel good.
Jason Statham
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
Jason Statham
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.
Jason Statham
I like heist movies. I like action movies that set all the elements into one and a chance to do something that comes from a great stable of writing.
Jason Statham
Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I'm interested in practical strength that's going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.
