I've come from nowhere, and I'm not shy to go back.
There is something about yourself that you don't know.
Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.
Every sequel needs to be bigger and better.
People take chances every now and then, and you don't want to disappoint them.
Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.
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.
I should never go with rumors because they're often not correct.
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.
People like to pigeonhole you.
I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.
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.
I'm enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.
I've never been one to run around in Speedos on the beach.
And if people come up and say they like the movies you're in, it's a great compliment.
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.
I'm used to being efficient and a guy that can do more than the average guy can.
The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises.
One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.
I think we're all sensitive; everyone has a certain way about themselves that people don't like to let their emotions out too often. I think people tend to suppress them and hold them in, so I think there's a bit of that in me.
You only get one shot in your life and you might as well push yourself and try things. There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie; the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations. It's a great, great thing to be involved in if you have the headspace for it, and I do. Try anything once.
I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.
I think that's as far as you have to think, everything happens as a coincidence. It either happens or it doesn't. It's hard to map out a strategic plan by saying, 'If I do that, that's going to get me to the next level.' I think that's the wrong way to go into movies as an actor. It doesn't happen for me that way.
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.
The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
