“I’ve come from nowhere, and I’m not shy to go back.”

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

I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.

It’s street theater. You have to make it entertaining so people don’t get bored and walk away.

I should never go with rumors because they’re often not correct.

I was a sportsman for years. I’ve always had a physical background. I’ve always had an interest in boxing and fighting. To get physical in films is a dream. I love it.

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.

It’s hard to predict what kinds of people are going to enjoy it [film]. And what people ain’t. That’s the movies. You never know.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.

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.

Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set and you’re working out, you’re going to feel good.

My father used to run auctions. He’s now a singer in the Canary Islands.
