“My father’s definitely old-school. And he raised me with integrity – to be places on time, show up, and work hard.”

I like a lot of Tom Cruise’s roles, he’s this action hero.

I never understood actors who could just wait around.

I had fun to be a little bit of a nerd.

Everybody’s human. You are only on this planet for a little bit of time.

I’m pathetic when it comes to the Internet and getting stuff done.

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.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.

My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’

You might be smarter, your family might come from privilege, your daddy might own a company, but YOU WILL NOT OUT WORK ME!

I still have a video of my father, which I watch before every game I play for Brazil. It gives me strength, makes me determined.

God the Father’s a deep root; the Son’s the shoot that breaks into the world; the Spirit spreads the beauty & fragrance.

He [God] watched over me before I knew him, and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil, and he protected me, and consoled me as a father would his son.

In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.

I have certain objectives. They’re the same objectives my father had to give people a higher standard of living, to do away with the cancer of poverty, to eliminate the consequences of economic backwardness.
