Taking chances for the people you care most about is easy. It's hard to take chances that might mean making bad decisions. But when I have to take chances about people I love, relationships, my daughter and immediate family, those decisions are easy. I make them without even thinking about it, it is usually something that just has to be done. You don't question anything, you just go for it.

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.

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

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

Usually I like to make my movies from start to finish in chronological order. As a filmmaker it lets me be able to direct my actors and tell them where exactly they are and go with progression.

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

Surfing soothes me, it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.
