“I never understood actors who could just wait around.”

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.

I definitely have a piece of tape over my computer at home.

I think some of the most interesting stuff was seeing how the Dark Web works and seeing how easy it is for hackers to break into your computer or your bank account or your private information.

I’m always excited to be around other actors. I sometimes only get to work with myself, and it’s so tedious. I was so excited to go to work every day, and we ran into work every day.

I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.

It’s my job as an actor to commit to the role and not – through my own inhibitions – run away.

It’s really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you’re with – especially when you’re both actors.

To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised – they don’t see you behind closed doors.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

An actor works with their soul and their thought.

When you’re an actor, you’re a slave to other people’s visions.
