I felt I could become a performer who stood out, who challenged the way things were done and make it more creative and also encourage men and women to not be afraid of their sexuality.
I don't think any actor can be happy with their performance. There's always something you wish you would have done or said differently.
I am selective, but at the same time, I want to be out there as an actor and show people my range.
I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.
I commit to most things I do in life, so I don't really have any serious regrets. But I'll say this: There are plenty of people that I wish I could un-meet. It's kind of an L.A. syndrome.
When I run into disappointment - say, for example, not getting a role I'd hoped for - I just try not to take it personally.
Honestly, I look at the project and I look at the people attached and I look at the director. If it's a role that I feel will help me, as an actor, then I'll definitely take it.
Whether that's an action film or a comedy or a drama or anything in between, I'm willing to prove that I can play with the big boys.
It's so easy to pick up a camera, white balance, and shoot people having sex, but I don't think there's anything very interesting about it. You might get off, but that's it.
I can be a very sarcastic person, and sometimes people take every word I say literally.
I have a very eclectic group of fans. I have fans that love me for me and who have never even seen my adult work. They just like my music, or they just like me.
Americans give you the violence, Europeans give you the sex. I think people have been saying that since the 70s. And I think it's kind of pathetic that Americans are still stuck - on the shock value of violence, when sex is such a natural thing for everybody.
I'm not one to sit here and judge here. But I think it's funny that the people that condemn the adult industry the most are the ones consuming the product the most.
If I only concentrated on one thing, I would limit myself in life.
I guess I've always been attracted to secret societies and the mystery surrounding them.
From a creative standpoint, I'm interested not only in the idea of helping couples and women, but challenging myself creatively, and doing each one better than the last thing I did. I think by doing that, by adding a visual element to these films, it really makes a huge difference.
I wasn't that kid where if you told me 'No,' I was just going to do it anyway.
I've really been trying to go back to when I was 18 and rediscover the things that drove me, and my passions. How do I get back to being that strong? Because I feel like as I get older, I'm not as fearless as I was when I was 18.
The day I feel like I'm at an office job is the day I'll quit performing in front of a camera.
When it comes to romance, I'm really simple. I am really a 'dinner and a movie' type of person, and I love food, so surprise me and order something different or adventurous when it comes to food, and I'm like a kid at Halloween.
Literally, I just love food and I like going to dinner with big groups of people so you can try everything.
I always had all of these childhood fantasies about wanting to invent things, like a spaceship or a time machine. And everyone's imagined what it would be like to go back in time and change things, to see what would happen if you had a different life. 'Back to the Future' fulfills all of those daydreams. It's the perfect movie.
I sacrificed a lot, in terms of friendship and family, from working so much at such a young age, but I wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't.
Some people are very dictatorial and it's not a good feeling, and it kind of inhibits you, because you feel like you have more to offer than what they're trying to squeeze you into, some kind of box or something like that.
Anybody that believes that Adrian Grenier's name is really Vince should probably watch less TV.
