Paul Walker
The mornings along the coast where the fog and mist meet with the salty spray of the seas is one of my favourite smells. I love the smell in the evergreen forest just after it rains - The Redwood Forest in California has the coast, too, so you have the best of everything!Collection: Best
I really like the Evo from '2Fast.' That car is a lot of fun as a daily driver. They're really quick on the track, too, when they're set up right.Collection: Car
It's not about working anymore, its about doing work I can be proud of.Collection: Work
I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'Collection: Fathers
The dream is to have it all. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Live this life, that life, this life, you know? You only live one time - I want to get it all in.Collection: Time
I have friends that are super talented, that are far more talented than I am in certain areas, but it just doesn't happen for them. Sometimes you feel guilty for your success because you know people who deserve it way more.Collection: Success
I'm a science guy. I'm a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I'd be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.Collection: Science
Thing is, I went to a born-again Christian high school, was brought up in a traditional Mormon family where these ideas about parenting are of structure and sacrifice. To think outside of that idea of family and parenting that I've grown up with is tough but also very freeing.Collection: Parenting
There's a time and place for everything, but as I get older, I like finding those human moments and really connecting. Maybe I'm not as cool as I once was.Collection: Cool
My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.Collection: Diet
I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.Collection: Freedom
I've always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.Collection: Car
I thought I'd just do a wave of movies, and then I'd burn out. They just kept coming together.Collection: Movies
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.Collection: Experience
You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.Collection: Love
Attitude is attitude, whether you're a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?Collection: Attitude
There's more to life than movies.Collection: Movies
I don't think of myself as a romantic person; I'm kind of more rough and tumble, I think. The things I'm drawn to are outdoorsy, I only get dressed up when I have to. I'm drawn to women who are into the same type of thing. If you're going to call it romantic, I'm very spontaneous. That's probably the best thing I have going for me.Collection: Romantic
I grew up hunting and fishing. I've always been into archery. I've always been into cars... In my family, that was just stuff we did. That's just the way it was.Collection: Car
We're only on the earth for a short period of time. Movies aren't enough. I want to take my success and parlay it into something bigger and better.Collection: Success
I'm Brian a lot more than I'm Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, 'Hey Paul Walker!' my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It's uncomfortable. But when I hear, 'It's Brian!' it's cool. I like Brian.Collection: Cool
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a marine biologist. As you go through the grind and the distraction of a career, it's easy to lose sight of your dreams.Collection: Dreams
I think that just sitting down and having casual conversation is the hardest stuff to do. But the extremes? I know what it feels like to come racing around the corner at 90 miles an hour, sliding the car sideways. I know what gear I'm hitting it in when I'm coming around the corner and where I need to downshift. So to me, that's the fun stuff.Collection: Car
Me and my buddies are all like brothers. So it's okay for us to say 'I love you' or whatever. It's always cool. I think that comes from my dad. That's just the way he always was.Collection: Cool
I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.Collection: Sports
I'm a crazy car guy. I've got an airplane hangar full of cars.Collection: Car
I'm a pretty agile guy, especially being taller and having done martial arts from about the age of 13, but parkour is one of those sports that I wish I'd discovered sooner. When my nephew first showed me, I thought, 'Damn - I'm too old for this.'Collection: Sports
I pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant. That's it. I don't have the time or patience for anything else. I'm a natural kind of guy. I don't style my hair - never learned how.Collection: Patience
I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That's no joke. I have a 'half pipe' in there, too - you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It's awesome. It's the ultimate fantasy.Collection: Car
I'm really close to all of my family.Collection: Family
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.Collection: Cool
My mom's hot. I mean she's old, but my mom's out of control.Collection: Mom
I love 'Donnie Brasco' and 'Days of Thunder,' so after I did 'The Skulls,' I was like, 'I want to be either an undercover cop, or I want to race cars!' Universal came to me with a newspaper article about street racing in L.A., and I was like, 'Are you kidding me? I grew up doing that right off Peoria in Sun Valley.' They asked if I wanted to do it.Collection: Car
I'm into being a dad, that's where my focus is most of the time. I'm an actor that's my job, but it's not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.Collection: Dad
I don't care what it is in life: listen to your heart. If you do, no matter what, you win.
My philosophy is: If you can't have fun, there's no sense in doing it.
Sometimes the hurdles aren't really hurdles at all. They're welcome challenges, tests.
I'm not afraid of anything. That's just the way I am.
I like a woman that's capable and at the same time feminine. I admire tomboy qualities but with a feminine touch.
I'm a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, 'I should be there; I should be helping out.'
I love doing the action stuff. It's soooo much fun!
Everyone has an opinion.
I'm a problem solver. I love people. The more complicated they are, the more I get into them, and I just want to understand what makes them tick.
I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.
You know, I'm a pretty mellow guy. I'm pretty easy-going. I see everyone's perspective.
Maybe this is just horrible bad, but I think I've had enough successes to where the journey is more important to me now. There's no guarantee, no matter what. We get one run in life.
If you spend any time with a man, you'll realize that we're all still little boys.
I just turned 40, and it's weird to think that I've been doing this almost my whole life. I was a child actor and then didn't do it through junior high and high school, then started up again in my late teens doing 'Young and the Restless.' Dabbled with school, went back to college, played around. I think I was doing Pleasantville at 23.
I wish I could be behind the wheel for every stunt.
Football was my sport. I was fast. I was a free safety.
