Quotes
“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.”
“I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. Nothing else matters not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.”
“The most important thing in life will always be family. The people right here, right now.”
“A person in my position has to restrain himself.”
“If you’re the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you’ve gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.”
“I would love to do more science fiction. I always envisioned the Riddick franchise as a continuing mythology, so I always imagined that there would be many other films to follow.”
“I love thinking about the film, the project, and committing myself as much as possible.”
“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 people believe in you, you can do miraculous things.”
