“You break her heart, I’ll break your neck.”

I can’t go white, Indian, Asian, Latin. For me, in my existence, if I’m anything, I’m inclusive of everyone, and we are just one, and I hope that global harmony is in all of us.

I am definitely a person of color.

I’m a fantasy guy. So I brought the fantasy element to the Riddick, David Twohy brought the sci-fi, and it came together.You see that in every aspect of the film.

Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors.

Well, love motivates me in everything I do.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.

If it’s an amazing role, I’ll do anything.

I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don’t approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have.

When you go to the movies with your whole family, it’s a different experience. For some reason, it’s something that you’re all doing together and you take away something special in that.

Video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.

In Hollywood, I think I get a bad rap for being a perfectionist. It’s something that’s not always welcomed in Hollywood, because you’re always pushing people and you’re pushing yourself to be the best that you can be.

I grew up in an artists community in New York, in a building that was government-subsidised for artists. No one made any money, but they made art for the sake of art.

With age, you get to a place where you don’t want to knock people out. You just want to give people a hug.

I always want another actor to shine in my scene because it makes the film stronger. I would encourage people to scene steal, because filmmaking is a collaborative effort.

My mother is the most supportive mother in the world, she’s magical.

When I’m writing, I’m locking myself in a room. I’m the worst critic in the world. I write something and then I beat myself up. I’m like “Vin, you’re retarded, that makes no sense.”

We can not build a deep connection to someone who is disconnected from themselves.

Bring up my past and everything I said YOU CANT BREAK ME.

I still miss you but not enough to ruin my heart anymore.

Your smile stuck in my soul but your touch has faded away.

Every terrorist regime in the world uses isolation to break people’s spirits.

Sometimes all you need is someone who never gives up on you.

Sometimes, we all laugh for a joke which is not funny and cry for a love not meant to be.

Never talk bad about your ex to your friends, if you don’t know the whole story.
