“I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man or any of that. I'm a character actor.”

“You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and d...”

“With this film, 'Need For Speed,' with this, we had a blank canvas to work with. What we had to do was have fast cars, and that's it.”

“I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It's ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.”

“I love coming of age stories that have struggle.”

“Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out.”

“My dad didn't want me to listen to Zeppelin, I think because it reminded him of his wilder days, and now he's a retired Southern Baptist minister.”

“My father's a Southern Baptist minister. I wasn't lighting cars on fire; I just wasn't.”
