If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.

The funny thing is, I've never really hurt myself in an action movie. I've done 'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle.

I think what's dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, 'Well, I can totally handle myself now.' But if my opponent didn't know the other half of the routine, I don't know how well I'd do.

One of my goals is definitely break into film, and I want to do action movies as well.

I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.

Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I never thought I would say this, but I'm desperate to do an action film.

Hollywood is throwing action movies at me.

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
