“I just do what Clint Eastwood does: Keep moving forward. You can’t look back or think about that kind of stuff too much. You just keep making movies; hopefully you make some good ones.”

Everybody’s human. You are only on this planet for a little bit of time.

I’m pathetic when it comes to the Internet and getting stuff done.

I want to be a man’s man – not a kid actor or a glitzy pop star but a no-bullshit leading man.

My old man is a man of few words.

We spend a lot of time trying to keep all that stuff very private. In this day in age, it’s impossible. It’s out in the ether and people send stuff to my house all the time. People show up at my house sometimes.

It’s hard to nap on Saturday or the weekends.

They were actually really nice to me [in Fast 8]. We had BBQs every day on set. We had a lot of laughs and a lot of good times.

People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I was on my own just doing the grind.

You understand what good directing is, you can identify it pretty easily.

I grew up on movie sets and traveling the world with my pops.

My father always told me that. Nobody knows anything, so don’t listen to anyone else.

Some outlets shouldn’t even call themselves news providers; they’re just entertainment gossip without any sort of accountability or fact-checking.

The motto I live by is you can’t out-train bad nutrition . You’ve got to just eat healthy. So like 90 per cent of it is diet, 10 per cent of it is working out.

I want to live a really positive ass life. No matter what is in the media about me or what’s said in the comments.

I think you just learn a lot of stuff in general about all the stuff he [Edward Snowden] released. I think there’s probably a lot that we don’t know. That’s what is really interesting.

I’m a fan of horror movies that have really good stories.

Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good.

To be good to the vile is to throw water into the sea.

Nobody is a good judge in his own cause!

A good scientist values criticism almost higher than friendship: no, in science criticism is the height and measure of friendship.

Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy; but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day.

Your lines, I maintain it, are poetry, and good poetry. Friendship had I been so blest as to have met with you in time, might have led me – God of love only knows where.

You don’t have to know how to make a movie. If you truly love cinema with all your heart and with enough passion, you can’t help but make a good movie.

WHY IS IT so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?
