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.

One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.

The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
Jason Statham
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.

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

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

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.

I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
Jason Statham
People like to pigeonhole you.
Jason Statham
I've come from nowhere, and I'm not shy to go back.

The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.
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 endured many weeks of it, but I had a big background in martial arts and fighting as a kid, so kind of all the problems got brushed away and I was ready.
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.
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
I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.
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.
