More quotes by 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
A person in my position has to restrain himself.
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
Nothing comes easy when I'm in character, because everything I do in character, I take seriously.
Vin Diesel
I grew up with all kinds of people.
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.

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 a perfectionist. I'm very critical, especially artistically.
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
Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors.
Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel
I've been auditioning since I was 7 years old.
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
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
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 think there's something we all relate to about...wanting to get to our most primal self.
Vin Diesel
You break her heart, I'll break your neck.
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.
