More quotes by Vin Diesel
I used to feel guilty about owning a console.
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
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
It would be flattering to call it a modern Dirty Harry, but I think this film deals more with the loss of his wife than the traditional revenge vigilante films.
Vin Diesel
When people believe in you, you can do miraculous things.
Vin Diesel
With age, you get to a place where you don't want to knock people out. You just want to give people a hug.

I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.

I am definitely a person of color.

The majority of the filmmaking process is in pre-production. The more you've planned out the more freedom there is on set to find new stuff, to play around, find new jokes and let the actors kind of breathe - but it needs to come from a place where it's completely structured.
Vin Diesel
I've directed independent film.
Vin Diesel
I'm a fantasy guy. So I brought the fantasy element to the Riddick, David Twohy brought the sci-fi, and it came together.You see that in every aspect of the film.
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
You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality, you don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes.
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 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
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
I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.
Vin Diesel
They say the open road helps you think. About where you've been and where you're going.
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
The films that I do are deep, introspective, brooding roles that you're in this heavy headspace all the time.
Vin Diesel
