Hollywood is throwing action movies at me.
Stunts have to be meticulously arranged. Choreographed. You could take a fight scene and set it to music.
I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.
The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.
When I did 'Good Guys Wear Black,' I had a lot of dialogue in that movie.
As for action movies, I did Tarzan, and I'm also about to shoot Meltdown, which John Carpenter wrote.
I think there's certain things that I know in my head that I enjoy: action movies.
I've gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It's a different kind of kicking, though.
The fight scenes in 'The World's End' have a certain balletic quality to them.
Some of the martial arts films, the motivation is about martial arts. That's where it's coming from. It is a visual, commercial film, to showcase the next stunt, the biggest thing. And character development becomes a side thing.
Shooting a fight is like shooting any other scene. You have to tell a story using a very specific choreography.
I love my martial arts and action movies. They give another dimension to the acting world: the emotional plus the physical.
I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.
I thought there would be more time in my trailer to write during 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' but I seem to be always flying in a harness and conquering supervillains instead.
I went for a more classical approach to filmmaking with lots of dolly, track and cranes, and slightly slower, more choreographed fight moves, so you get more fight moves in one take.
I consider myself a martial artist and an actor. They can work together or individually. I love to do action. I love having a good role in which I can act and fight. That's double happiness.
I've always wanted to do action stuff. I like it. You really want something that's special; that's got something special about it and not cheesy, I guess. I'll tell you something, it's fun, it's different. Comedy is difficult. Doing comedy is very difficult. Action stuff is fun.
I am not in a position to play in action films bashing hundreds of goons with one hand. I feel I am not really fit for high-voltage action films.
I've never played a character where I've had so much fun on the physical end. I don't want to say I like it too much but it's fun having a gun on you and getting to manhandle men.
'Raging Bull' was just a dream to work on, but it took a lot of work to get all those fights to work right and incorporate them properly into the story.
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
I watch action movies, and you don't remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It's character trait stuff you remember.
I enjoy fighting scenes. I like fighting in film. I like pretending to fight in films.
I can't remember ever being involved in a fight in a movie where I haven't done most of it.
