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

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 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.

No one makes me do anything I don’t want to do.

The thing about nonviolence is that it spreads. When you get people to participate in nonviolent action – whether it’s a fast, a march, a boycott, or a picket line – people hear you, people see you, people are learning from that action.

You need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.

Surprise your doubts with action.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

Love is doing something you don’t want to do for someone you don’t particularly like at that moment.

We may say we value this thing or that thing more than any other, but the volume of our actions speaks louder than our words.
