He has built a career on high-speed chases, bruising fight scenes and gravity-defying stunts, but Jason Statham says that even after decades in action cinema, he is still determined to push himself "a little bit further than the last time".
Speaking to BBC News at the premiere of his latest film Shelter, Statham admitted that his commitment to doing his own stunts has sometimes comes at a cost.
"There have been a lot of stunts where I went too far," he says.
"When you get hurt, a lot of the time you think, 'why did I do that, why didn't I get a stunt man to do that?'
"I've hurt my neck a few times, I've hurt a lot of things a few times and that reminds you of your mistakes."
