On raising his daughter, Meadow: “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.”
On having perspective: “There’s more to life than movies.”
On how he escapes: “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.”

On his love for the great outdoors: “Being out in nature is a big part of the way I am the way I am today.
On becoming a dad: “I was really freaked out [about becoming a dad]. The whole thought of being a dad was scary to me. It’s kind of like that Creed song that says, ‘I don’t know if I’m ready/To be the man I have to be.’ Every day, you find yourself scratching your head, going, ‘Wow am I really? I guess I really am!'”
On being fearless: “I’m not afraid of anything. That’s just the way I am.”
On raising Meadow to be grounded: “I have a daughter and she’s been going on camping trips with me recently. It’s important to me that she experiences those things and grows while doing all that. I think sometimes it may be overwhelming for her because of who her daddy is and what he does.”
Since the star’s death, his daughter has launched the The Paul Walker Foundation.
