“I envision the future sunny and with love, harmony and oneness. I think Hollywood is changing.”

If you take my performance or my understanding of the role and my appreciation for story and then dress it in CGI, that I guess becomes an action film.

I have dangerous bones in my body.

The idea of exploring character relations and their development over a decade has to be appealing for any actor who cherishes his craft.

When you come onto the set, everything should be focused around your character and you should stay in the pocket, as much as possible. Every actor has their own process. For me, I really need to stay in the pocket.

It would be flattering to call it a modern Dirty Harry, but I think this film deals more with the loss of his wife than the traditional revenge vigilante films.

We all deal with being unfairly judged.

It wasn’t until I went to college and I got my first motorcycle that I understood the thrill of speed.

IT don’t matter if you win by an inch or a milewinning is winning!!

I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.

Nothing comes easy when I’m in character, because everything I do in character, I take seriously.

Most of my confidence came from being with ladies, because I certainly wasn’t getting any acting jobs.

If you believe in the project, you have to support it.

I would love to do more science fiction. I always envisioned the Riddick franchise as a continuing mythology, so I always imagined that there would be many other films to follow.

I think there’s something we all relate to about wanting to get to our most primal self.

I’m a New Yorker. I always have issues with trust – you adopt it from being a New Yorker.

We’ve come a long way, from where we’ve been. I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.

No one thing stays the same after a goodbye.

When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into it’s dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment.

When preparation becomes a form of procrastination, you need to change something. You don’t want to merely be planning. You want to be practicing.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

I’d be dishonoring God if I didn’t believe I was put here on Earth to help change the world.

I have learned that champions aren’t just born; champions can be made when they embrace and commit to life-changing positive habits.

It’s hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior. You have a new goal and a new plan, but you haven’t changed who you are.

Determination can change your mind. Determination can change your heart. Determination can change your life altogether.
