Jason Statham

I had such a good time working with Paul Feig on 'Spy.'

I don't go in for the high-end gyms with the high-tech equipment and all the fancy stuff.

I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they'll put her on a green screen, and they'll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They're relying on stunt doubles and green screen and $200 million budgets - it's all CGI created. To me, it's not authentic.

The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.

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.

If someone's got a fear of heights, they'd probably say, well, hanging off a helicopter at 3,000 feet above downtown L.A. would be the scariest. For me, that's a day's work, something I was very happy to do.

Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.

As an actor, you work to the script: that's our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home.

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.

I'm enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.

How long you can continue to be good at something is how much you believe in yourself and how much hard work you do with the training.

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.
