Nothing comes easy when I'm in character, because everything I do in character, I take seriously.

I'm an actor. I can do whatever I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to defy expectations.

I grew up the son of an acting teacher but I've never been really good at articulating what that process is. It was always a bit more internal.

If you believe in the project, you have to support it.

When I'm writing, I'm locking myself in a room. I'm the worst critic in the world. I write something and then I beat myself up. I'm like "Vin, you're retarded, that makes no sense."

Riddick is an antihero. He's the quintessential antihero. We all know how much I love antiheroes. It takes you 45 minutes in the movie just for Riddick to understand the word "heroism," let alone for anyone to hope that he can be heroic.

Career diversification ain't a bad thing.
