Quotes by Paul Walker
-
I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.
Read quote -
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!
Read quote -
I fell in love with the ocean when I was just a little kid, four or five years old, I was a junior ranger, I was going out and doing intertidal stuff, walking around and sticking my finger in my first sea anemone and picking up starfish and all that. It gripped me when I was young.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
I learned a long time ago that if you subscribe and believe the good, you have to believe the bad. My measure is my heart and what I know.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.
Read quote -
The people I don't understand are atheists. I go surfing and snowboarding, and I'm always around nature. I look at everything and think, 'Who couldn't believe there's a God? Is all this a mistake?' It just blows me away.
Read quote -
I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
I'm not the kind of guy who's taking advantage of my position.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
I'm one of those people that think certain things happen at certain times for all the right reasons.
Read quote -
I surf; I skateboard. I'm from Southern California. I never thought I was going to be an actor. And to be honest with you, I never really thought of myself as one.
Read quote -
I like a woman that's capable and at the same time feminine. I admire tomboy qualities but with a feminine touch.
Read quote -
'The Fast' is tough; it's not easy. It represents too much to too many people. But that's what also makes it fun.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
I've been so transient, I've been on my own since I was 16. I didn't even have my own place until I was 32 years old. I literally lived out of bags for 16-plus years.
