“I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.”

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.

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.

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

And if people come up and say they like the movies you’re in, it’s a great compliment.

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

In Hollywood, people get reputations, just rumors that are passed down.

If anybody knows how to make action movies it’s Sly.

I’m not a method actor; I hope you know that!

I like Jackie Chan because I’ve been a fan of Jackie’s forever. He’s broken every bone in his body for his commitment and dedication to doing his own stunts. So he’s the real deal.

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

I don’t worry about playing basketball; that comes natural. I just want to have fun.

If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that’s concentration.

Play me a symphony of love with your tongue. It doesn’t have to be romantic.

Early in my career, I had no consistency. Now I’m the most consistent player on the tour. It feels pretty good.

Sometimes, a defeat can be more beautiful and satisfying than certain victories. The English have a point in insisting that it matters not who won or lost, but how you played the game.

If I didn’t play tennis I probably would have to see a psychiatrist.

Someone once told me that God figured that I was a pretty good juggler. I could keep a lot of balls in the air at one time. So He said, “Let’s see if he can juggle another one.”

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that’s the beauty of it.
