Gibson talked about Fast Five and Fast Six, filming Transformers in 3D, if he has the desire to direct, how he ended up writing a bestselling book (How to Get Out of Your Own Way), his new album Open Invitation, Twitter, and a lot more.  Hit the jump for the audio and transcript.

Excerpts:

Collider: I definitely want to ask you about Fast Five.  Obviously, that movie made a ton of money.  When did you find out that they were going to shake up the genre like that and turn it into a heist movie?

Gibson:  I was just happy that the fans showed up.  I mean, it is over $600 million worldwide right now and it is still performing right now over overseas.  It is still opening up in different regions.  You know, you just want to work on something that everybody is going to show up and appreciate.  As actors, you want to work on a movie that people are going to show up for and enjoy especially when you are putting so much time and effort into something.  People walked away from Fast Five and they laughed, they were on the edge of their seat, and there was a lot of action.  More than anything, I am just happy with it being multiethnic and it crushed a lot of stereotypes.  A lot of these movies are starting to look really black and really white.  But it was white, black, Asian, and Israeli.  It was every nationality that was possible in one movie, and the movie performed big.  I think movies like Fast Five are going to create a new standard in Hollywood.  It is stuff like that that really makes me feel good about being a part of it.

I don’t know if you know this but there is something going on right now in Las Vegas called the Licensing Expo.  At the Licensing Expo, there is a banner for Fast and Furious 6 and it says 2013 at the bottom.  Let’s be honest here, has anyone started talking to you about a 6^th movie?

Gibson:  There is some buzz and I know that they brought the writer, Chris Morgan, who did a great job on it back on board.  To be honest, I’m sure there has to be a Fast Six because the fans showed up and responded so well to it.  I just have to figure out which role I’m going to play and if it even makes sense for me to do a six.  We just have to cross that bridge when we get there.
