“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.”

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.

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.

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.

Motherhood, building character one day at a time.

Vow to be valiant. Resolve to be radiant. Determine to be dynamic. Strive to be sincere. Aspire to be attuned.

I really like how the characters always have to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.

Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He’s a big brother, super-talent; he’s cool.

It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together. Humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.

By themselves, character and integrity do not accomplish anything. But their absence faults everything else. Here, therefore, is the one area where weakness is a disqualification by itself rather than a limitation on performance capacity and strength.
