Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.
I like a lot of Tom Cruise's roles, he's this action hero.
I am a very nerdy guy. I understand that it's easier to cast me as a nerdy guy than an action star - although I would love to be an action star!
The whole time that I was doing the voice of Korra, I would always joke around saying that nobody's gonna give me a job as an action star or a hero. I just do silly comedy.
James McAvoy is not an action star.
I'd love to do a movie with Denzel Washington, or some action star such as Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg would be really cool, too.
The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.
I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.
I'm a big Harrison Ford fan. I kind of pattern a lot of things after him, the way that he's an every man. He's one of the biggest action stars ever, but he transcends that term because he's such a good actor. I tend to really appreciate the stuff he's done.
Before 'Race 3,' I had not done a role which required me to do action.
Being an action star is all I had ever hoped to be. I ultimately knew I would be an action star.
I'd never really imagined myself as an action star.
[Arnold Schwarzenegger] is funny. Some great one-liners, some great banter between him and the contestants [on "The Apprentice" ]. And he's good!
I watched a lot of Jean-Claude Van Damme films and loved his film 'Bloodsport.'
I'm not trying to be an action star, and I'm not trying to be a romantic-comedy guy.
I want people to see the action side of me. I love all of that stuff and it would be a dream to do that Lara Croft-type role.
I love Charles Bronson. He didn't have a lot of range, and he wasn't a great actor, but you couldn't take your eyes off him.
The action star's life is very short. Back in Asia, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm the producer, I'm the director, I can do so many things, but in Hollywood any time I present a script they say: "No, no, no, Rush Hour 3, Rush Hour 4."
Jason Statham is one of my favorites. I've watched basically every single one of his action movies, and they're all creative.
In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called 'Blast,' which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I've got the build, the attitude and the look for it.
When you're a young man, a young boy, all you want to be is that action hero; you want to be the James Bond, and I got to do that for a bit, and that was great.
Being Bruce Lee's kid, everyone wants you to be an action-film star. I took martial arts, and it's fun to do those types of movies, but I wanted to act, not fight.
I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.
I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
