Actor

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.

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've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.

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.

Some people are very good at that, communicating with the world; I'm not sure I'm suited to it.

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

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

People who are in a position of power like to throw their weight around, and that becomes abuse.

Science fiction I've always been a fan of.

My productivity is overwhelming!

Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.

I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

I endured many weeks of it, but I had a big background in martial arts and fighting as a kid, so kind of all the problems got brushed away and I was ready.

Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.

The TV world is not what it used to be. I mean, the quality has become something quite exceptional.

A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.

I love westerns. It's guys being guys. There's no room for frilly stuff.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
