Does the public love Vin Diesel? Based on the amount of people who lined the streets surrounding the "XXX" Premiere, the answer is a resounding "Yes." The screaming was so loud and so constant at the Premiere of "XXX" that any attempt at interview questions with answers longer than four or five words was pretty much impossible.

If the crowd size was any indication of the box office potential for the action thriller (with a little romance thrown in), then the makers of "XXX" are on their way to box office gold.

Here's a few quotes from the red carpet event, though most of what Vin Diesel said was indecipherable because of all the screaming women.

VIN DIESEL (Xander Cage aka 'XXX')

What's it feel like to be headlining this Premiere and "XXX?"
I grew up in New York and it was far from this. It's a change of pace [to be in Hollywood].

What was the best part of making "XXX?"
The best part of working on this film was working with director Rob Cohen ["Fast and the Furious"] again.

What do you think of all these screaming women?
(Breaking out in an extremely large smile) I think the fans are amazing. I make the movies for them. I was told a long time ago to make the movies for the people.

The turnout at this Premiere is tremendous. Can you believe the amount of support for this film?
I don't believe it - I still don't believe it.

ASIA ARGENTO (Yelena)

What surprised you the most about working with Vin Diesel?
I guess his brain. He's very, very smart. I don't expect most men to be that smart - maybe I wasn't lucky in my life. He's really smart and that's what I found the most sexy about him.

Why should fans go see the movie as opposed to all the other recently released action films?
I don't know, I never liked James Bond. This is the first spy movie ever that feels real, with real characters.

Are you going to do any more directing?
Yes!

What are you going to direct? (Asia is notoriously secretive about her projects but I thought it was worth asking.)
Oh, I don't want to say but thank you for asking!

DANNY TREJO (El Jefe)

What was your experience like working with Vin Diesel?
He's really easy to work with because he's real sharing. He shares the camera; he shares the light. It really makes an ensemble piece like this - because there are a lot of actors - it makes it real, real easy to work with.

Are you getting tired of the 'bad-ass' roles?
No, are you kidding (laughing)? It helps my rep. I'm a good guy in ["Spy Kids 2"].
