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

The mornings along the coast where the fog and mist meet with the salty spray of the seas is one of my favourite smells. I love the smell in the evergreen forest just after it rains - The Redwood Forest in California has the coast, too, so you have the best of everything!

Attitude is attitude, whether you're a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?

I live by ‘Go big or go home.’ That’s with everything. It’s like either commit and go for it or don’t do it at all.

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

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

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

I remember when I first came around, the computer-generated stuff was pretty wicked. I was like, 'Wow!' but I feel like then for the longest time, we saw so much of it, after a while, you might as well just be watching an animated movie.

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

My family's really close.

Basically, you're selling a world as an actor, right? I mean it's like any sales person: if you believe in your product, you know your product, you sell it a lot better.

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

I just turned 40, and it's weird to think that I've been doing this almost my whole life. I was a child actor and then didn't do it through junior high and high school, then started up again in my late teens doing 'Young and the Restless.' Dabbled with school, went back to college, played around. I think I was doing Pleasantville at 23.
