More quotes by Vin Diesel
I think there's something we all relate to about...wanting to get to our most primal self.
Vin Diesel
I've been auditioning since I was 7 years old.
Vin Diesel
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.
Vin Diesel
They say the open road helps you think. About where you've been and where you're going.
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
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
We all deal with being unfairly judged.
Vin Diesel
I enjoy playing a quintessential antihero. There's something therapeutic about playing such characters. I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that characters.
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
You make movies for the people. If critics happen to like them too, well, that's a home run.
Vin Diesel
It's very rewarding to see the movie, and it's very rewarding to make the movie, but playing the character [Riddick] is sometimes a lot more difficult than other characters because it takes so much preparation to get into that character.
Vin Diesel
To have a director that loves his actors is something that you can see in the film and in the fruits of that labor. You can see that translated in the film. When you watch this movie, you can see a director who loves his actors, and it shines through the movie, in my eyes.
Vin Diesel
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
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
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
I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
Vin Diesel
Fight sequence to me isn't just about the athleticism. It so often is about what the emotion that is behind it and how willing you are to really, really challenge that emotion or really take that emotion to that place so you're feeling a certain intensity for the whole time when you're shooting the actual physical scenes.
Vin Diesel
You get a timeless cool card in New York.
Vin Diesel
Choosing the car you drive is like choosing your wardrobe, maybe even more important.
Vin Diesel
My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.
Vin Diesel
