“Well, I’m used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.”

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.

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 laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.

Most children turn out badly because they have the wrong parental image. This doesn’t mean their parents are criminal. It means they are boring and cruel.

Many commit the same crime with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown.

Jealousy is the most dreadfully involuntary of all sins.

Remorse is the fruit of crime.

War is mankind’s most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men.

It should never be a crime to be gay.

The crime of the Nuremberg Laws was a national crime; it violated national, constitutional rights and liberties, but it was of no concern to the comity of nations.
