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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.

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.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

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.

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.
