If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.

Vin Diesel
It's remarkable how a soundtrack can be so important to the storytelling and the experience. I think the music is going to make people see the movie a lot. The music is going to make you want to go see it again. You have so much fun in the movie, and it's music that you want to share with your kids, anyway.
Vin Diesel
It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with?
Vin Diesel
I'm a New Yorker. I always have issues with trust - you adopt it from being a New Yorker.
Vin Diesel
Nothing comes easy when I'm in character, because everything I do in character, I take seriously.
Vin Diesel
I always have issues. I'm a New Yorker. I always have issues with trust - you adopt it from being a New Yorker. I think trust is something that comes from the gut. I don't think it's anything specific. I don't think it's anything tangible.
Vin Diesel
My mother is the most supportive mother in the world, she's magical.
Vin Diesel
I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
