You make movies for the people. If critics happen to like them too, well, that’s a home run.

I’m a big believer in the law of attraction.

I have dangerous bones in my body.

I was raised in New York City and raised in the New York City theater world. My father was a theater director and an acting teacher, and it was not uncommon for me to have long discussions about the method and what the various different processes were to finding a character and exploring character and realizing that character.

Show me how you drive and I’ll show you who you are.

My mom used to say that I became a fighter and a scrapper and a tough guy to protect who I am at my core.

You don’t just need the experience; you also need the courage to take on the next challenge.

I am definitely a person of color.

I’m an actor. I can do whatever I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to defy expectations.

Choosing the car you drive is like choosing your wardrobe, maybe even more important.

I shaved my head about 15 years ago and the first time I shaved it, I started running my hand through my hair and it was very therapeutic.

Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life; it’s about what you inspire others to do.

If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn’t be that, I’d want to be a superhero.

I grew up with all kinds of people.

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

A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

Deal-making goes on with any job.

It’s remarkable how a soundtrack can be so important to the storytelling and the experience. I think the music is going to make people see the movie a lot. The music is going to make you want to go see it again. You have so much fun in the movie, and it’s music that you want to share with your kids, anyway.

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

You know when something feels so good but you’re afraid to feel good about it? So you kinda hold back? Everyone says, Congratulations, you must be so happy. And you say something stupid like, I’m just doing what little I can with what little I have.

The thing that I love about the Fast and Furious movies is that they really are about family.

I love women more than anything.

To have a director that loves his actors is something that you can see in the film and in the fruits of that labor. You can see that translated in the film. When you watch this movie, you can see a director who loves his actors, and it shines through the movie, in my eyes.

They say the open road helps you think. About where you’ve been and where you’re going.

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

I don’t have friends, I have family.

Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But being a gentleman is a matter of choice.

If Clark Gable had a Facebook page, there would have been a Gone with the Wind 2.

The most important thing in life will always be family. The people right here, right now.

It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.
