More quotes by Jason Statham
A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.

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

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.
Jason Statham

Jason Statham
Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I'm aware of what I can and can't do.

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.
Jason Statham
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
I'm not a method actor I hope you know that!
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.
Jason Statham
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.
Jason Statham
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.
Jason Statham
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

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
[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.
