An actor would be foolish to do something that might hold up the picture, or more importantly incapacitate him. If an actor does do a stunt he needs to make sure a stunt man stands by to see that it's done correctly.

Stunt work offers a diversity of roles and, while I'm used to anonymity, I really like showing off and performing in front of camera, though I know my limitations.

There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.

If you're an actor, you're at the mercy of a script. You've got far more control if you're the photographer.

There's a lot of directing within the stunt coordinator's job.

A lot of things in films are cheated with the use of camera tricks, so while it may feel unnatural to do, when you look at the result, you realise that it is right.

I discovered that, in order to write a magnificent piece, you should shoot the images because once you are filming, you are writing the script in your mind.

As a stunt guy, you become a mini-director. You're talking to actors about performance.

When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it.

A lot of filmmaking is an endurance contest between you and the people you're filming. Every time that you relax, I promise you, something interesting will happen.
