In my misspent youth, I was risky.
Jason Statham -
I love westerns. It's guys being guys. There's no room for frilly stuff.

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 -
The TV world is not what it used to be. I mean, the quality has become something quite exceptional.
Jason Statham -
Whatever you do, do it to the extreme.
Jason Statham -
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
Jason Statham -
I've always got a home in England. My family and friends are there. It's a place I hold very close to me.
Jason Statham -
You got to be careful mentioning people as great as Clint Eastwood. You can't put me in the same sentence as that man.
Jason Statham
-
You should never assume about someone.
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 -
I go to this gym full of stunt men. There aren't any TVs or treadmills there. This is a spit-and-sawdust kind of place. It has a lot of great training aids - trampolines and bags and every weapon ever invented to do harm to a human being. If you want to know how to throw a knife, it's great.
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.
Jason Statham -
I remember the first time I saw Robert De Niro at a party. I didn't want to run over and shake his hand. I wanted to admire him from a distance. Later, I ended up making a movie with him, and that was fantastic.
Jason Statham -
With 'The Expendables,' you have such a brilliant mess of the greatest action stars of all time, so you're in for the ride with those people.

How long you can continue to be good at something is how much you believe in yourself and how much hard work you do with the training.
Jason Statham -
I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.
Jason Statham -
I really enjoyed working with Guy Ritchie. One, it gave me a career, and two, they're probably a couple of the best films I've ever done.
Jason Statham -
I was running around and bouncing out of the pram as a baby.
Jason Statham -
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'm very fussy. I'm very hard to please.
Jason Statham
-
Me in a cape? I don't fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don't think that's right for me. I just respond more to true stories; that's my flavour.
Jason Statham -
As an actor, you work to the script: that's our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home.
Jason Statham -
A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.
Jason Statham -
Every single day has a different combination of exercises. It always changes, and that's what keeps things interesting.
