“I’m going to do my best to channel the character on a spiritual level.”

Film is my hobby, so I will work well through the night to develop films, whatever film I’m doing or dream projects I have.

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.

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’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

I’m a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

I enjoy playing a quintessential antihero. There’s something therapeutic about playing such characters. I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that characters.

I’ve turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But being a Gentleman is a matter of choice.

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.”

I can’t go white, Indian, Asian, Latin. For me, in my existence, if I’m anything, I’m inclusive of everyone, and we are just one, and I hope that global harmony is in all of us.

I am definitely a person of color.

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.

Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors.

Well, love motivates me in everything I do.

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.

If it’s an amazing role, I’ll do anything.

Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make the effort to be the best of ourselves.

Wish them the very best and let them walk away.

The best way to be misunderstood is to care too much.

Now if only at my worst had I known I was about to be at my best.

If you’re forced to walk on knives in a world where they’re sharpened, wear your best heels.

You were the best and worst nights of my life fucking while the flames lick us at least you’re a distraction from my spiritual death. You’re a god damn angel in a crack den.

I was pushed to my limit and it almost broke my spirit I know change is for the best but there’s a part of me I haven’t left I’m taking time to love this mind of mine.

Silence is the best storyteller.
