If You Believe In The Project, You

When I First Did 'the Fast And The Furious', I Didn't Want There To Be A Sequel On The First One. I Thought, 'why Would You Rush To Do A Sequel - Just Because Your First Film Is Successful?'

To Have A Director That Loves His Actors Is Something That You Can See In The Film And In The Fruits Of That Labor. You Can See That Translated In The Film. When You Watch This Movie, You Can See A Director Who Loves His Actors, And It Shines Through The Movie, In My Eyes.

It's Very Rewarding To See The Movie, And It's Very Rewarding To Make The Movie, But Playing The Character [riddick] Is Sometimes A Lot More Difficult Than Other Characters Because It Takes So Much Preparation To Get Into That Character.

I Never Think Of People's Nationality Too Much. I Always Look At Everybody The Same. It's Impossible For Me To Just Say One Group Of People Over Separate Groups Of People. Maybe It's Because I Was Raised In New York City Which Is This Melting Pot. Everybody Was Always The Same And The Whole Point Of My Whole Film Existence Was To Say That We're Just One Race.

Unfortunately, In Hollywood, There Are Those Directors That Have Some Contempt For Actors. We've All Experienced That, In One Way Or Another.
