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. – Jason Statham
Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He’s definitely went to school and trained. – Jason Statham
There’s so many interesting aspects of making a movie: the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations. – Jason Statham
Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I’m aware of what I can and can’t do. – Jason Statham
‘The Bank Job,’ for me, was a great opportunity for me to do some good acting, you know? – Jason Statham
I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I’m not into sports watches – I like chronometers. – Jason Statham
The Rock is the Rock, you know? He’s the ultimate athlete, the professional man with precision. And you want precision from a 270-pound living, walking brick wall. – Jason Statham
As an actor, you work to the script: that’s our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home. – Jason Statham
Most guys, tough or not, hide emotions. I know a lot of tough guys; they’re just as weak as the next man, but they don’t show it. – Jason Statham
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. – Jason Statham
The fight training was very extensive, a lot of stretching, a lot of coordination of balance exercises. – Jason Statham

I go to this gym full of stunt men. There aren’t any TVs or treadmills there. This is a spit-and-sawdust kind of place. It has a lot of great training aids – trampolines and bags and every weapon ever invented to do harm to a human being. If you want to know how to throw a knife, it’s great. – Jason Statham
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. – Jason Statham
When I was a kid, the people that used to push other people around, if someone whacked them, then they wouldn’t be pushing people around again. But you can’t really do that with adults. – Jason Statham
And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble. – Jason Statham
Every movie you do, you find something in yourself that you probably didn’t know that you had, and a director will find something in you that you can nurture and find and bring for the next one. – Jason Statham
