Paul Walker

“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.”

“You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.”

“My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.”

“I don't care what it is in life: listen to your heart. If you do, no matter what, you win.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'”

“I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I'm a crazy car guy. I've got an airplane hangar full of cars.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I've always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.”

“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.”

“I'm really close to all of my family.”

“The whole thought of being a dad was scary to me.”
