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

I love women more than anything.

Deal-making goes on with any job.

I grew up with all kinds of people.

I am definitely a person of color.

I have dangerous bones in my body.

We all deal with being unfairly judged.

Career diversification ain't a bad thing.

You get a timeless cool card in New York.

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

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

Well, love motivates me in everything I do.

I used to feel guilty about owning a console.

I've been auditioning since I was 7 years old.

I was a bouncer for ten years in New York City.

A person in my position has to restrain himself.

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

No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter-mile away or halfway around the world, you'll always be with me and you'll always be my brother.

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

When people believe in you, you can do miraculous things.

I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

Find your confidence, lead with love... the rest will follow.

I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.

I'm a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

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

I'm a perfectionist. I'm very critical, especially artistically.

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

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

I'm going to do my best to channel the character on a spiritual level.

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

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.

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.

When Lucas was doing Star Wars, he didn't have a 50 million person Facebook following where he could just sift through feedback to try to get an idea for what he was going to do next. It's a luxury we have today.

The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.

I enjoy playing a quintessential antihero. There's something therapeutic about playing such characters. I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that characters.

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?'

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.

Of course, I don't act in an extreme fashion in my day to day life. I don't think any of us live do. I think we all have that reserve somewhere and we pull upon it when we need it.

My mother gave me this book called Feature Films at Used Car Prices by a guy named Rick Schmidt. I gotta credit the guy, cuz he gave me the most practical advice. It empowers you.

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 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.

My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think a lot of actors talk about it, but there's usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie.

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.

I'm not really afraid of the dark, except if I'm walking. The thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip.
