Jason Statham

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

People like 'Crank,' some people like 'Redemption.' I'm just happy to do things that satiate a different part of me, that test me a little bit.

A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.

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.

Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.

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

Just because the rest of the people in Hollywood don't do their stunts doesn't mean I don't.

Homefront' was written by Sylvester Stallone. He actually wrote it for himself, which is, for me, an amazing privilege: To be handed a script by Sly that he wrote for himself, that he asked me to do.

The TV world is not what it used to be. I mean, the quality has become something quite exceptional.

London and L.A. are two opposites - I like the difference.

My role model is Sly Stallone.
