I think we're all sensitive; everyone has a certain way about themselves that people don't like to let their emotions out too often. I think people tend to suppress them and hold them in, so I think there's a bit of that in me.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.

Bruce Lee was just so lightning-fast. People try to emulate him in whatever way they can, but to try and do what he was doing... you're just inspired by it; you're not trying to say, 'Look, I can do that.' No one can do what he did.

Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.

Take a martial art or a sport, something that gives you a skill, engages the body, and allows you the possibility of being great - or at least being active. You'll find your confidence. Without it, you're nothing. It's the remedy for everything.

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.

I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they'll put her on a green screen, and they'll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They're relying on stunt doubles and green screen and $200 million budgets - it's all CGI created. To me, it's not authentic.

A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.

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.

In my misspent youth, I was risky.

I loved 'The Sweeney.'

People like to pigeonhole you.

High risk is high adrenaline.

I love the hip-hop scene.

At least in making an action film, there's always going to be someone who wants to see a car chase. Even if a lot of the people don't like it, there will be a lot of people that do. But bad comedy is just garbage.

If you can have a great story that people can follow the mystery and get the suspense, and then you have those moments of tension and a splash of visual fun, then you kind of get everything. You get your money's worth.

If someone's got a fear of heights, they'd probably say, well, hanging off a helicopter at 3,000 feet above downtown L.A. would be the scariest. For me, that's a day's work, something I was very happy to do.

I like fashion. My mum was a dressmaker, believe it or not, so the consequence of that was that all my clothes were homemade, and I looked like a terrible mess until I was old enough to buy my own. But I love good tailoring.

A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don't get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that's made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.

If you're going to do something, do it with style!

We were diving in caves. It wasn't totally safe.

I'm enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.

I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.

I'm not a method actor; I hope you know that!

I'm very fussy. I'm very hard to please.

Science fiction I've always been a fan of.

I'm certainly not Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

I like crime thrillers. I like heist movies.

You should never assume about someone.

I've never been one to run around in Speedos on the beach.

When I go to the cinema I watch all different kinds of films.

I thought 'The Bank Job' was a really quality movie.

I've come from nowhere, and I'm not shy to go back.

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

I'm naturally a protective person to those close to me.

I like to meditate. But I get rid of my stress at the gym.

I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.

We're trying to make a movie that's interesting.

The best things in life sometimes happen spontaneously.

Revenge is a caustic thing. I say, Breathe in, breathe deeply, let it go.

In Hollywood, people get reputations, just rumors that are passed down.

I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

Depending on the season, you'll find me outdoors doing an activity.

There's a huge amount of faith and confidence in the stunt team.

It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.

Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.

Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.

I've just got a really bad smile. I go for the scowl instead.

I had such a good time working with Paul Feig on 'Spy.'

Suits change a lot - the wide lapel thing, the fashion trends, the trousers change.
