Jason Statham

The Rock is the Rock, you know? He's the ultimate athlete, the professional man with precision. And you want precision from a 270-pound living, walking brick wall.

I don't do isolation body building; I just do practical things that help me with the kind of things that are asked of me in action movies. You know, a lot of kick boxing, a lot of sparring.

If we want to talk about the movies that have made an impact in what I do in the action realm - Bruce Lee in 'Enter the Dragon.' I've watched that countless times.

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.

With 'The Expendables,' you have such a brilliant mess of the greatest action stars of all time, so you're in for the ride with those people.

Justin Lin has just been exceptional with what he does with that vehicular action.

If you're gonna do action movies, you're gonna get an injury at some point. It's inevitable.

For years, I've been wanting to do something that has a bit more of a dramatical drive and combine it with some action.

The action-movie genre is a very difficult one to get satiated in terms of your acting bits.

I'm sure everyone that has ever done an action movie has just drooled over how full of talent Bruce Lee was and how unique he was.

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.

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