More quotes by Vin Diesel
If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn't be that, I'd want to be a superhero.
Vin Diesel
A person in my position has to restrain himself.
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
Riddick is an antihero. He's the quintessential antihero. We all know how much I love antiheroes. It takes you 45 minutes in the movie just for Riddick to understand the word heroism, let alone for anyone to hope that he can be heroic.
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
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
I was a bouncer for ten years in New York City.
Vin Diesel
I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.
Vin Diesel
I grew up in an artists community in New York, in a building that was government-subsidised for artists. No one made any money, but they made art for the sake of art.
Vin Diesel
I'm a New Yorker. I always have issues with trust - you adopt it from being a New Yorker.
Vin Diesel
I've directed independent film.
Vin Diesel
I'm an actor. I can do whatever I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to defy expectations.
Vin Diesel
It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with?
Vin Diesel
Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But being a Gentleman is a matter of choice.
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 you come onto the set, everything should be focused around your character and you should stay in the pocket, as much as possible. Every actor has their own process. For me, I really need to stay in the pocket.
Vin Diesel
I grew up with all kinds of people.
Vin Diesel
When people believe in you, you can do miraculous things.
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
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.
