I love Tony Jaa. He's one of the best and most capable martial arts stuntmen in the world.

I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.

I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.

[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.

I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.

If anybody knows how to make action movies it's Sly.

People like to pigeonhole you.
