More quotes by Vin Diesel
The most important thing in life will always be family. The people right here, right now.
Vin Diesel
If you take my performance or my understanding of the role and my appreciation for story and then dress it in CGI, that I guess becomes an action film.
Vin Diesel
I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
Vin Diesel
I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.
Vin Diesel
Deal-making goes on with any job.
Vin Diesel
If you think about my filmography, I have never done a movie that a kid could go see, except for Iron Giant, and I'm not even on the screen.
Vin Diesel
When people believe in you, you can do miraculous things.
Vin Diesel
Of course, I don't act in an extreme fashion in my day to day life. I don't think any of us live do. I think we all have that reserve somewhere and we pull upon it when we need it.
Vin Diesel
Career diversification ain't a bad thing.
Vin Diesel
When I got on the set of 'Saving Private Ryan,' I discovered, to my amazement, that Steven Spielberg is a gamer.
Vin Diesel
My mother is the most supportive mother in the world, she's magical.
Vin Diesel
You get a timeless cool card in New York.
Vin Diesel
I started acting at seven years old. It took me 20 years to understand that if I was going to make my dreams a reality, I had to take the reigns. I had to learn something about being productive and being self what's the word I'm looking for? Self-sufficient, but I had to be productive at all costs and I had to make product.
Vin Diesel
I approach every film I do in the same way, whether it's an action film or not an action film. I guess if a certain physicality lends itself to action, but I started acting before I reached puberty. I was 7 years old when I started acting. It wasn't until I became a bouncer in New York.
Vin Diesel
What was bizarre, when I was younger, I never watched TV. I would rather watch a movie 100 times than to watch a TV show, just to find another nuance. I can't tell you how many times I've watched 'On the Waterfront', just to find a flaw so that I can learn and try to improve my thing.
Vin Diesel
I can't go white, Indian, Asian, Latin. For me, in my existence, if I'm anything, I'm inclusive of everyone, and we are just one, and I hope that global harmony is in all of us.
Vin Diesel
Any film that you see is never just the director. If it's a film that you love, it's not so easy to say, Oh it's directed by this person - that means everything that person directs is going be wonderful.
Vin Diesel
I started acting when I was seven-years-old. By the time I was 17 I would say: If I'm not a star by the time I'm 18, I'll get out of the business.
Vin Diesel
I would love to do more science fiction. I always envisioned the Riddick franchise as a continuing mythology, so I always imagined that there would be many other films to follow.
Vin Diesel
I'm a perfectionist. I'm very critical, especially artistically.
