Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.

[On performing in action movies] I've spent all those years learning how to do certain skills, and then that competitive spirit kicks in and you want to do the stunts. Basically, it's the the male competitive ego at work.

The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.

There is something about yourself that you don't know.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

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.

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