“When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.”

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.

People are often talking when they are not supposed to be.

My perfect weekend, anything to do with nature.

I think my mom put it best. She said, ‘Little girls soften their daddy’s hearts.

If one day speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling.

Just real. I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. And more importantly, I want to have the freedom to bring everyone else along with me.

I think that I just need to work with great directors and actors, people who are better than me, so that I am challenged.

I don’t go where people are. I go where the people aren’t.

If I lost weight, I’d be two-dimensional!

I have been surfing for my whole life. I love it and I don’t know that I can get much better now, I have peaked, which bothers me but I have to accept it.

Michelle Rodriguez is like the most original person on the planet. She’s so straight up, uncensored all the time. Be ready. I love her for that.

Sometimes I live in fear. But when I have to take chances about people I love, relationships, my daughter and immediate family, those decisions are easy.

My motto is, you have to get in a sport a day.

I love dogs. I grew up with dogs in my family from the time that I was a little boy; we always had German Shepherds and Labradors. I get on very well with dogs, they trust me.

My father’s a protector. My father’s old-school. He’s a cowboy.

I’d like to live on horseback and just be a cowboy.

You’ve got to be twice as good to get half as far.

One of my strongest gifts is that I’m pretty straightforward.

There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.

If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

Ninety-nine percent of leadership failures are failures of character.

You can get to know me through my music.

War exposes the best and worst of those who are called to fight. I know of no man who lacked character in peace and then discovered his character in combat.
