Jason Statham

“I've always been a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I love that feeling of being on the edge.”

“If you're going to do something, do it with style.”

“I'm a working-class person, and that's how I was brought up. I'm from a council estate. That's how I live.”

“I'm not interested in being a hero. I'm interested in being a real person.”

“People are interested in seeing stunts, but they are also interested in seeing a story.”

“There is a lot of comedy in my parts. I am not a clown, but I am an entertainer. I am a performer.”

“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! And you're alive.”

“It's something I'm not ashamed of, you know, being an Englishman. I'm proud of it.”

“I'm not a Method actor. I'm a British actor. I just do it.”

“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.”

“A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and can't. The door is not open for them.”

“The thing about the old-school artists is they don't say anything until they have something to say.”

“I'm not a politician. I'm not a movie star. I'm just a guy who's been through a lot.”

“I think the best actors are the most generous. They're not selfish. They're not looking for the spotlight. They're looking to tell the story.”
