If one day the speed kills me, don't cry. Because I was smiling.

If one day the speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling.

Remember that no matter how cool you think you may be, you're not cool enough to look down on anyone...ever.

I've always wanted to race cars, even since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

My philosophy is: If you can't have fun, there's no sense in doing it.

If one day the speed kills me dont be sad because i will have died smiling

There's more to life than movies.

I like a woman that's capable and at the same time feminine. I admire tomboy qualities but with a feminine touch.

As for Hollywood, I've got a killer job, and I'm having a blast. I have the luxury to go on trips whenever I want and invite my friends who can't afford it. And, God willing, I'll be able to do all that till the day I die.

The whole thought of being a dad was scary to me.

I've always been one foot in, one foot out of this game because I'm not comfortable with being on the pedestal or the poster. That's just not who I am. I'm more like the grunt. I want to be the guy behind the guy.

When I was younger, I was so damn pretty, I looked like a girl, so I understand why guys didn't like me.

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

My family's really close.

There's a time and place for everything, but as I get older, I like finding those human moments and really connecting. Maybe I'm not as cool as I once was.

I'm not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.

Everyone has an opinion.

I love doing the action stuff. It's soooo much fun!

I'm into being a dad, that's where my focus is most of the time. I'm an actor that's my job, but it's not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.

I learned a long time ago that if you subscribe and believe the good, you have to believe the bad. My measure is my heart and what I know.

I was definitely ahead of my friends. I was French-kissing girls way before anybody else was.

I'm not afraid of anything. That's just the way I am.

I thought I'd just do a wave of movies, and then I'd burn out. They just kept coming together.

I'm a surfer. I grew up in Southern California and used to surf twice a day, every day.

I pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant. That's it. I don't have the time or patience for anything else. I'm a natural kind of guy. I don't style my hair - never learned how.

We're only on the earth for a short period of time. Movies aren't enough. I want to take my success and parlay it into something bigger and better.

I surf; I skateboard. I'm from Southern California. I never thought I was going to be an actor. And to be honest with you, I never really thought of myself as one.

Me and my buddies are all like brothers. So it's okay for us to say 'I love you' or whatever. It's always cool. I think that comes from my dad. That's just the way he always was.

I wanna work with good people. I don't want to work with screaming, yelling directors who've got daddy issues. I just don't want to deal with those guys.

I could take you for a walk on the beach and I could point out just about any creature and give you their Latin names.

I'm not affected by violence the way some people are. I don't know why, but I enjoy that intensity.

That's one thing about Hollywood. People don't always want what's real. People always want a little more. So for me, it's a compromise. Here you go, that hyper-reality.

You know, I'm a pretty mellow guy. I'm pretty easy-going. I see everyone's perspective.

My father's a protector. My father's old-school. He's a cowboy.

I've been so transient, I've been on my own since I was 16. I didn't even have my own place until I was 32 years old. I literally lived out of bags for 16-plus years.

Football was my sport. I was fast. I was a free safety.

I hope I'm in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons, or to sustain a certain marquee value.

I'm really close to all of my family.

I almost sabotaged my career. 'The Fast and the Furious' didn't let me, and I'm grateful now. That franchise gave me the opportunity.

I'm a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, 'I should be there; I should be helping out.'

There's a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.

I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'

If I lost weight, I'd be two-dimensional!

My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.

I'm a science guy. I'm a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I'd be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.

My motto is, you have to get in a sport a day.

In college, my friends called me Mr. James Bond 007 because I entertained everything: blonds, brunettes, redheads. I'm across the board.

My mom's hot. I mean she's old, but my mom's out of control.

When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

'The Fast' is tough; it's not easy. It represents too much to too many people. But that's what also makes it fun.
