Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.
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.
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
I'm not a method actor; I hope you know that!
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.
Guy Ritchie, he thinks going to drama school is the worst thing in the world.
I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.
You ain't ever gonna get an Academy Award for doing 'Crank,' and you certainly won't for doing all the other movies I've done.
When I'm getting ready for a movie, let's just say my diet is 'The Antisocial Diet.' I don't go to restaurants. I don't eat what I really want to eat. I don't eat much. I eat small things frequently. Lots of protein and greens. And I don't eat with people, because there's a tendency to get social and then to overeat.
The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.
In Hollywood, people get reputations, just rumors that are passed down.
I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
I love Tony Jaa. He's one of the best and most capable martial arts stuntmen in the world.
