More quotes by Vin Diesel
Unfortunately, in Hollywood, there are those directors that have some contempt for actors. We've all experienced that, in one way or another.
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.

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
Deal-making goes on with any job.
Vin Diesel
That's what I love. I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.
Vin Diesel
Career diversification ain't a bad thing.
Vin Diesel
The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.
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 have dangerous bones in my body.
Vin Diesel
Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors.
Vin Diesel
