More quotes by Vin Diesel
I envision the future sunny and with love, harmony and oneness. I think Hollywood is changing.
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
It wasn't until I went to college and I got my first motorcycle that I understood the thrill of speed.
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
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 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 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
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
I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.
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
I grew up with all kinds of people.
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's really bizarre because no one knows this, but elephants have killed more animal trainers than any other animal.
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
I'm not really afraid of the dark, except if I'm walking. The thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip.
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
The most important thing in life will always be family. The people right here, right now.
Vin Diesel
I believe in paying special attention to every project that you do and supporting the projects you do.
Vin Diesel
I do practice martial arts, more as a recreational thing, but a lot of my friends have been heavyweight champions the in mixed martial arts world.
Vin Diesel
When I got on the set of 'Saving Private Ryan,' I discovered, to my amazement, that Steven Spielberg is a gamer.
