Everyone has an opinion.
My father's a protector. My father's old-school. He's a cowboy.
I don't go for the flash and panache.
There's a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.
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 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.
I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.
Major brands don't know what to do with happy customers. They make it hard for customers to say thanks and way too often companies don't celebrate and embrace customers' positive gestures.
It's not about working anymore, it's about doing work I can be proud of.
Michelle Rodriguez is like the most original person on the planet. She's so straight up, uncensored all the time. Be ready. I love her for that.
We all compromise ourselves, from time to time, because maybe it will lead to more opportunity...A ll of that’s cool, but we forget and we get caught up. If you want that nurturing, caring, empathetic, compassionate heart to keep on ticking and be around, and you want it to be strong, then don’t neglect #1. One way to feed it is just being truthful and listening to your heart.
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.
To know that there's a good chance that this is something that could potentially be around well after I leave this planet... it's a good feeling.
My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.
