Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.
I like a lot of Tom Cruise's roles, he's this action hero.
I am a very nerdy guy. I understand that it's easier to cast me as a nerdy guy than an action star - although I would love to be an action star!
The whole time that I was doing the voice of Korra, I would always joke around saying that nobody's gonna give me a job as an action star or a hero. I just do silly comedy.
James McAvoy is not an action star.
I'd love to do a movie with Denzel Washington, or some action star such as Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg would be really cool, too.
The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.
I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.
I'm a big Harrison Ford fan. I kind of pattern a lot of things after him, the way that he's an every man. He's one of the biggest action stars ever, but he transcends that term because he's such a good actor. I tend to really appreciate the stuff he's done.
Before 'Race 3,' I had not done a role which required me to do action.
Being an action star is all I had ever hoped to be. I ultimately knew I would be an action star.
I'd never really imagined myself as an action star.
[Arnold Schwarzenegger] is funny. Some great one-liners, some great banter between him and the contestants [on "The Apprentice" ]. And he's good!
I watched a lot of Jean-Claude Van Damme films and loved his film 'Bloodsport.'
I love Charles Bronson. He didn't have a lot of range, and he wasn't a great actor, but you couldn't take your eyes off him.
I'm not trying to be an action star, and I'm not trying to be a romantic-comedy guy.
Jason Statham is one of my favorites. I've watched basically every single one of his action movies, and they're all creative.
I want people to see the action side of me. I love all of that stuff and it would be a dream to do that Lara Croft-type role.
The action star's life is very short. Back in Asia, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm the producer, I'm the director, I can do so many things, but in Hollywood any time I present a script they say: "No, no, no, Rush Hour 3, Rush Hour 4."
Being Bruce Lee's kid, everyone wants you to be an action-film star. I took martial arts, and it's fun to do those types of movies, but I wanted to act, not fight.
I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called 'Blast,' which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I've got the build, the attitude and the look for it.
When you're a young man, a young boy, all you want to be is that action hero; you want to be the James Bond, and I got to do that for a bit, and that was great.
I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.
