“Remember That No Matter How Cool You Think You May Be, You Are Not Cool Enough To Look Down On Any One, Ever.”

There’s a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.

I was definitely ahead of my friends. I was French-kissing girls way before anybody else was.

I’m not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.

I wish I could be behind the wheel for every stunt.

People are concerned over safety and spillage, especially for the workers. We’re all really hopeful even though we remain deeply concerned over the safety and the efficacy of an unproven technology.

It’s funny to see the people connect with Fast & Furious the way they do. I had no clue, I didn’t get it. And now, more I get it and I see it.

I’m not afraid of anything. That’s just the way I am.

My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.

I find it hard to take chances that might mean making bad decisions.

If you spend any time with a man, you’ll realize that we’re all still little boys.

Train your mind to see the good in everything.

I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.

To know that there’s a good chance that this is something that could potentially be around well after I leave this planet, it’s a good feeling.

I’m a crazy car guy. I’ve got an airplane hangar full of cars.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing’s simple. It’s real.

I’m not the kind of guy who’s taking advantage of my position.

I’m often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don’t think I’ve actually cried watching myself.

O God, make me good, but not yet.

How do you project a character if you don’t have a sense of where she is from? I’ve always just gotten on a plane to go to the area to get a sense of what it is like, to smell it, feel the earth, hear people talk, go to the marketplaces.

I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.

Sometimes it’s the words we choose not to say that speak most loudly about our character.

My gratification in working comes from the preparation and the building of the character.

Character doesn’t matter.

Character is a journey, not a destination.
