More quotes by Vin Diesel
I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
Vin Diesel
We all deal with being unfairly judged.
Vin Diesel
If I'm on set and I'm in character, I'm not thinking like a producer. If I'm on set and I'm not in character, wardrobe and make-up, and I'm just coming on set for the moments that I'm not shooting, then I'm able to be the producer.
Vin Diesel
I've been auditioning since I was 7 years old.
Vin Diesel
I was raised in New York City and raised in the New York City theater world. My father was a theater director and an acting teacher, and it was not uncommon for me to have long discussions about the method and what the various different processes were to finding a character and exploring character and realizing that character.
Vin Diesel
Choosing the car you drive is like choosing your wardrobe, maybe even more important.
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
A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity.
Vin Diesel
I think there's something we all relate to about...wanting to get to our most primal self.
Vin Diesel
The idea of exploring character relations and their development over a decade has to be appealing for any actor who cherishes his craft.
Vin Diesel
I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.
Vin Diesel
The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.
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
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
I grew up the son of an acting teacher but I've never been really good at articulating what that process is. It was always a bit more internal.
Vin Diesel
IT don't matter if you win by an inch or a milewinning is winning!!
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
I grew up with all kinds of people.
Vin Diesel
I don't think a lot of actors talk about it, but there's usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie.
Vin Diesel
I believe in paying special attention to every project that you do and supporting the projects you do.
Vin Diesel
