It’s like you have a child and you think, ‘Everything that I’ve done up until this point is insignificant in comparison to being a father.’ It’s a beautiful, beautiful thing. Vin Diesel Read Quote
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. Vin Diesel Read Quote
None of the actor methods ever discussed what it would be like to play a character on film for over a decade, and what it must be like to return to a character and imagine the time off-screen, which is interesting. There’s something as an actor that I enjoy about evolving characters. Vin Diesel Read Quote
The second I walk onto the set and I know that there’s a camera and I know that there’s a David Twohy behind that camera, there is zero pressure. There is just me jumping into a pool called ‘Riddick.’ It’s the most free I am. It’s like channeling something. Vin Diesel Read Quote
I always have issues with trust. I’m a New Yorker… Really, I think trust is something that comes from the gut. And I think you have to – it’s probably the worst advice to give people – but I think you gotta trust people from your gut. Vin Diesel Read Quote
I grew up the son of an acting teacher, so I was kind of introduced to all of these various methods early… I’ve never been really good at articulating how, what that process is in the way that Stanislavsky could. Vin Diesel Read Quote
Every actor has their own process. For me, I really need to stay in the pocket. So, if I’m on set and I’m in character, I’m not thinking like a producer. If I’m on set and I’m not in character, wardrobe and make-up, and I’m just coming on set for the moments that I’m not shooting, then I’m able to be the producer. Vin Diesel Read Quote
I try to create an environment where, when we step onto the set, we’re all in character. Vin Diesel Read Quote
The thing I’m scared of most is not fulfilling my work. There’s so much anxiety around trying to get a movie made that you don’t really get to be afraid of anything else. Vin Diesel Read Quote
