“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.”

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.

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

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.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven’t got to try and interpret someone’s writing; it’s all theirs. I really admire that.

All of us are products of our childhood.

A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.

I am not just sitting and reading everything because honestly sometimes the scripts that appeal to me are projects that are not good projects, but I just really like the script or the characters.

She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad.

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.

Character is the direct result of mental attitude.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
