More quotes by 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
If you believe in the project, you have to support it.
Vin Diesel
I have dangerous bones in my body.
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
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
Deal-making goes on with any job.
Vin Diesel
I don't think a lot of actors talk about it, but there's usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie.
Vin Diesel
That's what I love. I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.
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
I was a bouncer for ten years in New York City.
Vin Diesel
The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.
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
Well, love motivates me in everything I do.
Vin Diesel
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
I was the oldest of the children in my family. I had to do a lot of diaper-changing and lunch-making. I was taking my little sister to ballet, picking up my brother, sort of being a super-nanny.
Vin Diesel
When I'm writing, I'm locking myself in a room. I'm the worst critic in the world. I write something and then I beat myself up. I'm like Vin, you're retarded, that makes no sense.
Vin Diesel
I've been auditioning since I was 7 years old.
Vin Diesel
Any film that you see is never just the director. If it's a film that you love, it's not so easy to say, Oh it's directed by this person - that means everything that person directs is going be wonderful.
Vin Diesel
You break her heart, I'll break your neck.
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.
