“People like to pigeonhole you.”

I love Tony Jaa. He’s one of the best and most capable martial arts stuntmen in the world.

Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.

I’m not fixed in any genre. I love all kinds of films. The essential thing is; you have to have good material. If you have the filmmaker, and the material, and the script is good, you can start from there.

Every sequel needs to be bigger and better.

I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what’s needed.

There is something about yourself that you don’t know.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble.

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.

I’ve been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.

Jet was very busy. I’ve been inspired by a lot of his movies.

I know, a lot of the films I’ve done, it’s obvious I’m going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There’s not a lot of motivating factors – it’s just action for the sake of action.

I’m enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.

A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I’m not a dad, but I’ve seen people and how they behave with their kids.

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.

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.

The only responsibility I feel is to deliver something that’s new or at least to attempt that. The real responsibility is to entertain and to try and make people laugh.

People are not stupid. They believe things for reasons.

Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across America that have been ignored, neglected and abandoned.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don’t let mean people bring that down.

If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.

The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.

No people can be both ignorant and free.
