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

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.

I’m used to being efficient and a guy that can do more than the average guy can.

I’m prepared to take risks. And every movie that I do is a risk. No one knows what the movie is going out turn out like.

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.

The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.

I’m more into MMA than any other sport. I watch a lot of the UFC fights. I have since it first came onto the scene.

If you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.

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.

Whether someone like Klitschko wins, loses, draws, or gets knocked out in five seconds, he is still a big name.

In order to be a friend to anybody, you have to be a friend to yourself. If you’re not a friend to yourself, there’s no way you’re gonna have any friends.

Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did…That’s my biggest regret.

It ain’t that I’m too big to listen to the rumors, It’s just that I’m too damn big to pay attention to ’em.

I don’t really do glasses. It’s a good look, but I’m not big on wearing clear glasses for fashion. And I don’t wear too many shades because my fans love to see my eyes.

I think the biggest misconception about me probably is … I don’t prey on the weak. I ain’t a bully, but I ain’t no saint, either.

Some things we forget. But many things we remember on the mental screen, which is the biggest screen of all.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
