Oh, I have no idea. I doubt it. What was your name and where do you live I just want them to know that you asked about that. I didn't bring it up. (Vin Diesel)
When I first did 'The Fast and the Furious', I didn't want there to be a sequel on the first one. I thought, 'Why would you rush to do a sequel - just because your first film is successful?' (Vin Diesel)
Obviously, for me, story is first and foremost, even in the face of the attractive idea of having all the cast there, or having a great piece of talent come to it. (Vin Diesel)
That was a dream. As an actor, you find yourself studying the performances of actors you've admired in the past, and so often those performances were in Sidney Lumet movies. When I directed my first short film, 'Multi-Facial,' I bought a book by Sidney Lumet called 'Making Movies,' and that book actually gave me the confidence to direct. So this was coming full circle, 10 years later, into the master's program, with the master. (Vin Diesel)
What was bizarre, when I was younger, I never watched TV. I would rather watch a movie 100 times than to watch a TV show, just to find another nuance. I can't tell you how many times I've watched 'On the Waterfront', just to find a flaw so that I can learn and try to improve my thing. (Vin Diesel)
We all deal with being unfairly judged. (Vin Diesel)
You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality. You don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes. (Vin Diesel)
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. (Vin Diesel)
The honest reason was my niece and nephew weren't allowed to see Uncle Vin movies, and they're my biggest fans. I guess I got a little sick of, 'No, you can't come to this one no, you can't come to that one.' And they're, 'But I saw the poster, Uncle Vin' (Vin Diesel)
I had spent my life studying these guys, looking up to them, watching their work. Now I was able to have my work watched over by the same guy who was watching them So that was an easy choice. (Vin Diesel)
I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God. (Vin Diesel)
There are a lot of films that explore sci-fi, ... What attracted me to the script is the fact that this film stands on its own. The characters and their relationships are interesting by themselves, without the creature element. In many ways it's a modern day 'Lord of the Flies.' (Vin Diesel)
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. (Vin Diesel)
