[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.

You only get one shot in your life and you might as well push yourself and try things.

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've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.
Jason Statham
I'm not fixed in any genre. I love all kinds of films. The essential thing is you have to have good material. If you have the filmmaker, and the material, and the script is good, you can start from there.
Jason Statham
I'm certainly not Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.
Jason Statham

Jason Statham
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
Jason Statham
People like to pigeonhole you.
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.
