“Guy Ritchie, he thinks going to drama school is the worst thing in the world.”

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.

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.

With knowledge, our creation can go in any direction – from the worst kind of drama, to the most beautiful dream. Then the best way to express our creativity is with love and awareness of what we really are.

The drama takes a toll on you.

Opera is music AND drama. I’m prepared to sacrifice the beautiful note for the meaningful sound any time…

People are what are scary…people.

I can make a pretty tone as well as anyone, but there are times when the drama of a scene demands the opposite of a pretty sound.

Marriage is such hard work. And it’s full of rage and real human drama.

The reality of any location in Britain being used in a TV program of a film is that something bad is going to happen! That’s the nature of drama. Most of the things that get made or basically grisly detective shows about murders, accidents or medical dramas.

I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.
