“My perfect weekend, anything to do with nature.”

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.

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

I’m not affected by violence the way some people are. I don’t know why, but I enjoy that intensity.

I like being surrounded by great people.

When you put good will out there, it’s amazing what can be accomplished.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

Dark green is my favorite color. It’s the color of nature and the color of money and the color of moss!

Yet through all this stress the forest is maintained in marvelous beauty.

Nature brings solace in all troubles.

It is reasonable that forces directed toward bodies depend on the nature and the quantity of matter of such bodies, as happens in the case of magnetic bodies.

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.

Love is life on a higher plain of existence, working through man to unite the forces of nature into a perfect whole.
