PAUL WALKER

I'd like to live on horseback and just be a cowboy.

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

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.

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

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

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

My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.

I'm a crazy car guy. I've got an airplane hangar full of cars.

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

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 afraid of anything. That's just the way I am.

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

I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.

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

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

My family's really close.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

I'm really close to all of my family.

I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.

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.

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 don't go for the flash and panache.

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.

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.

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