Zitat des Tages von Jason Statham:
I do like a lot of the '70s movies. I love Charles Bronson in 'Hard Times.' All my favorite movies where ones from yesteryear. The '70s was a good era. I love all those.
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.
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.
The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.
I tend to leave people alone that I admire.
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
I love getting dressed up in a suit because I don't do it all the time.
People like to pigeonhole you.
I like to meditate. But I get rid of my stress at the gym.
I love people who have a good sense of humor, tell a good story, tell a good joke.
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.
I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.
We were diving in caves. It wasn't totally safe.
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.
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.
There's so much more danger in someone where you really don't know what they're going to do, and you don't know what they're really capable of, rather than someone who's trying to be physically tough.
We're trying to make a movie that's interesting.
I'm very fussy. I'm very hard to please.
The action-movie genre is a very difficult one to get satiated in terms of your acting bits.
I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.
It's street theater. You have to make it entertaining so people don't get bored and walk away.
I love westerns. It's guys being guys. There's no room for frilly stuff.
People take chances every now and then, and you don't want to disappoint them.
Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He's definitely went to school and trained.
All exercise releases endorphins and makes you feel good.
I've never been one to run around in Speedos on the beach.
All of the stunt men - these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They're risking their necks.
I love the hip-hop scene.
A bespoke shirt is one of the true luxuries that you can acquire. There's nothing better than a fitted shirt. Once you've picked up your first one, you'll never stop buying them - providing you can pay for it.
When I was growing up, my dad didn't have weights, so he made himself a weight bench. Instead of a hand-me-down jacket, it was a hand-me-down weight bench.
My productivity is overwhelming!
Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.
I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I'm not into sports watches - I like chronometers.
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.
Justin Lin has just been exceptional with what he does with that vehicular action.
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
