Jason Statham Quotes

Everything you're doing is a chance at an opportunity, so why not give it your fullest and try?

It might seem a psychotic, insane thing, quitting a job after I'd built a great career over eight years, but it was a wake-up call. All too often we ignore those, forget that we don't know how long we're here for and that we need to make the most of every moment.
