More quotes by 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.

A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity.
Vin Diesel
Most of my confidence came from being with ladies, because I certainly wasn't getting any acting jobs.
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
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.

I shaved my head about 15 years ago and the first time I shaved it, I started running my hand through my hair and it was very therapeutic.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative piece of art that you can't look to one person - you couldn't look to me, you couldn't say, 'Because Vin's in it, it's this or that...' It's really all of us coming together for that period of time to try and make magic.
Vin Diesel
When I'm writing, I'm locking myself in a room. I'm the worst critic in the world. I write something and then I beat myself up. I'm like Vin, you're retarded, that makes no sense.
Vin Diesel
I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.
Vin Diesel
I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don't approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have.
Vin Diesel
It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.
Vin Diesel
Rated R movies are few and far between, nowadays. We're all seeing less and less rated R movies, and less and less of them are being made.
Vin Diesel
The films that I do are deep, introspective, brooding roles that you're in this heavy headspace all the time.
Vin Diesel
Unfortunately, in Hollywood, there are those directors that have some contempt for actors. We've all experienced that, in one way or another.
Vin Diesel
I'm not disciplined enough to be a writer consistently. I write when I have to.
Vin Diesel
It's really bizarre because no one knows this, but elephants have killed more animal trainers than any other animal.
Vin Diesel
It's like you have a child and you think, 'Everything that I've done up until this point is insignificant in comparison to being a father.' It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Vin Diesel
When Lucas was doing Star Wars, he didn't have a 50 million person Facebook following where he could just sift through feedback to try to get an idea for what he was going to do next. It's a luxury we have today.

I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.
