[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.

More quotes by 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.
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.
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.

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.
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
I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.
Jason Statham
I should never go with rumors because they're often not correct.
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
And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble.

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

Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.

Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
