“I love doing the action stuff. It’s soooo much fun!”

I never thought I was going to be an actor. And I never really thought of myself as one. Even though I keep working. I thought I’d just do a wave of movies, and then I’d burn out. They just kept coming together.

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.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

It is my wish to fill every moment of my time with some action of the mind which may contribute to the pleasure or the improvement of my fellow creatures.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

Waiting for the 100 percent right and certain solution leads to delay, indecision, and an inability to execute.

Sometimes, when you’re doing too much, things get overwhelming. So I just have to calm myself down and think, ‘What would my mama want me to do?’

Relax. Look around. Make a call.

To do is to be.

The best thing to do is go as far out as you can get… what you regard as ‘too far’-and when others follow, as they will, move on.
