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

In L.A., it’s very hard to have some kind of conscience of some style out there. The weather’s too hot; there’s no seasons.

I’m not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

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.

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.
