On Top Of All That, Look At This Guy? I Mean He's A Idiot, He's 7 Feet Of Pure Idiot. You Put His Brain In A Parakeet... Zing! It'll Fly Backwards.

One Of The Most Important Things You Can Accomplish Is Just Being Yourself.

That's A Traditional Samoan Dance. I Was Lucky That I Was Able To Fly My Cousins, Who Are Professional Dancers, Up From Hawaii And They Were Able To Be In The Movie With Me. We Had A Great Time.

Barack Obama Did Tell Me That I Was One Of Michelle Obama's Favorite Actors.

Well, The Rock Says This, You Should Be Concerned With Fixing Yourself A Nice, Tall Glass Of Shut-up Juice!

We All Love Challenges.

In Business, You Take A Swing And You Hope That You Hit A Home Run, But Sometimes You Strike Out. Strikeouts And Failures Are Important. Being Down, Getting Punched In The Gut Every Once In A While By Life And Coming Back Up, That's Accomplishment.

My Philosophy Is, It's Always Very Rewarding When You Can Make An Audience Laugh. I Don't Mind Making Fun Of Myself. I Like Self-deprecating Comedy. But I'd Like You To Laugh With Me Occasionally, Too.

Getting Back Into The Action Genre Is Like Going Back Home. It's Great.

When I Was A Kid, I Was Always Enamored By - I Appreciated The Movies, And I Was Able To See Them On Vhs When I Was A Kid, But I Was So Enamored By The One-sheets And The Posters. I Had Them In My Room When I Was A Kid.

The Challenges That I Face Today Are The Same Challenges We All Face. Trying To Balance Your Life Between Work, Family, Loved Ones, Your Husband, Your Wife - Boyfriend Or Girlfriend. If You Have Kids - Balancing That, Balancing Your Work With The Time You Spend With Your Kids. The Idea Of Wanting To Be A Good Parent And Then The Motivation To Be A Great Parent. Whether You're Black, White, Any Color. Rich, Poor, Regardless Of Religion, Cousins Of Culture, We Go Through Those. We Have The Same Challenges.

Think Back 5 Yrs Ago. Think Of Where You're At Today. Think Ahead 5 Yrs And What You Want To Accomplish. Be Unstoppable.

I Believe I'm Not In The Press, Just In Terms Of Being Photographed And Paparazzi All The Time, Or Looking For That Sensationalistic Type Of Side Or Anything Like That, So I Keep Things Very Quiet.

Yeah, Arrest That Man On The Crime Of Having 8 Chicken Mcnuggets Stuck Up His Arse.

The Fans Of Our Industry Are Extremely Savvy. At The End Of The Day, They Understand The Business Is A Work. It's Entertainment, Nothing More.

The End Of The Day

I'm More Patriotic Than I Am Political - I Appreciate Politics But I'm Not Quite Too Sure If That's A Road I'm Willing To Go Down.

If Something Stands Between You And Your Success - Move It. Never Be Denied.

When He Speaks To You He Speaks With An Earnest Vibe And An Earnest Energy.

And Then All Of A Sudden, You're Doing Jumping Jacks, You're Happy, Because Kane Can Talk. The Big Red Retard Can Finally Speak.

I Would Just Say That I Could Share What Served Me, Which Was Trying To Find The Best Material That I Could Possibly Find And Make It Better. When Other Celebrities And Sports Stars, Or People That Are Successful In Another Area, Cross Over Into Movies, They're Always Encouraged To Bring That Same Tenacity And That Same Relentless Drive That You Had To Make It. You Have To Apply That To Acting.

As Long As I Can Do Something That I Am Passionate About And That I Can Really Enjoy And The Audience Can Enjoy. That Is Where My Enthusiasm Comes From.

Our Reputations Precedes Us. If I Know Someone Is Not Nice, Not Kind, An Asshole - I Generally Don't Want To Work With Them.

I Was Brought Up As An Only Child, And We Were Very Close. But When I Was 14, We Got Evicted. We Came Home To A Padlock, And I Looked Up At My Mom And She Was Crying, And There Was Nothing To Do.

Take Your Ass To The Corner Of Know Your Role Boulevard And Jabroni Drive.

When I Was A Kid At Four Years Old, That's When I Started Amateur Wrestling With My Dad And Family. And When That's Instilled In You, It Never Goes Away.

Sweet Cream On An Ice Cream Sandwich!

Football Changed My Life And It Gave Me A Platform To Get Out My Aggression And It Gave Me A Sense Of Value.

When I Was A Kid, I Was A Combination Of Elvis, Richard Pryor, And Harrison Ford From Indiana Jones. I Didn't Know The Value Of Being Able To Make Someone Happy. What Kid Really Understands That? It Wasn't Until I Got Into Professional Wrestling That I Felt Like, "oh, It's Not Only Incredibly Gratifying To Achieve Something But Also To Make People Happy".

If You Are Halfway Smart, And You Could Really Listen To The Audience, You Could Really Learn A Lot.

When You're In Sync With The Director, On The Type Of Movie You Want To Make, The Arc Of The Characters, How The Characters Intertwine And Interact, Plotlines And Story, And Things Like That, It Really Makes A Difference.

Making A Difference

I Can Usually Get The Right Connection With The Crowd And I Don't Have To Be Jumping Off Ladders.

I Like The Idea Of Making A Big, Fun, Adventure Type Of Movie.

Steven Spielberg Has This Great Quote: "moviemaking Is Always About Noise. There's So Many Voices That You've Gotta Listen To. But You've Always Got To Pay Attention To The One Voice That's In Your Gut That Always Tells You It's Still Not Good Enough."

Not Good Enough

Why Being Involved In Social Media Has Had Such A Tremendous Impact On Me, Is Deeply Connecting Me With Fans In Ways That I Never Had Before. I Was Connected With Fans And I Always Appreciated The Relationship I Had With Fans, But, Through Social Media, It Allowed A Deeper Connection.

I Want To Be A Man Who Is Truthful And Who Won't Let Pride Get In The Way Of My Ripping Myself Open To My Partner And Saying, 'here I Am. This Is Me.' I Feel There's Something Powerful When A Man Reaches A Point In His Life When He Can Be Completely Vulnerable.

The Philosophy Has Always Been Pretty Clean And Straightforward, Which Is That If I See Something That I Like And I Can See It's Value To The Audience And It's Value To Me Then I'm Going To Take My Shot At It Regardless At The Genre.

What Was Important To Me Was Entertaining The Audience, And Whether That Meant Winning, Losing, Singing, Or Whatever It Was On The Live Show We Were Doing Every Week, Which Was Awesome, I Was Game For It.

The Men I Idolized Built Their Bodies And Became Somebody - Like Sylvester Stallone And Arnold Schwarzenegger - And I Thought, 'that Can Be Me.' So I Started Working Out. The Funny Thing Is I Didn't Realize Back Then That I Was Having A Defining Moment.

Success Isn't Always About 'greatness'. It's About Consistency. Consistent Hard Work Gains Success. Greatness Will Come.

One Hard Day Of Work Proves You Have Heart. But Day After Day Is What Proves You Have Maturity And Commitment.

How Dare You Little Jabroni Come Onto The Rock Shows Smackdown And Run Your Mouth About How Your The Game, Well The Rock Says, If You Are The Game Then You Quite Frankly You Need To Go Back To The Drawing Board Cause Your Game Absolutely Sucks!

I Grew Up In A Musical Family; The Majority Of My Growing Up Was Done In Hawaii. It's What We Do. You Sing, You Dance, You Play Ukulele And You Drink.

The Only Thing Strong About The French Army Is Their Damn Body Odor.

It's Easy To Be A Bad Ass, It's Easy To Act Like A Bad Ass, Easy To Act Like A Tough Guy, It's Easy To Be A Diva, And It's Easy To Be Self Absorbed. The List Goes On And On But To Me, I Always Just Find It More Important To Be Nice And Kind.

You Like To Live Life Without Regret But That’s What The Good Lord Intended For Me – That’s Just The Way It Was. My Goal Was To Make It In The Nfl, I Played With A Lot Of Great Players In College Who Went On To Have Illustrious, Incredible Careers And In The End It Just Didn’t Happen For Me. I Failed At That.

The Rock Is Going To Lay The Smacketh Down On Your Candy Ass!

The Money Is Of No Concern To Me, Whatsoever. I Started Out With Nothing.

Wake Up Determined. Go To Bed Satisfied.

I'm A Long Way From Being Evicted [at The Age Of 14], But I'll Never Forget It. I'll Never Forget The Feeling. I'll Never Forget My Mom Crying And I'll Never Forget The Thought I Had: 'well The Only Thing I Can Do Is Just Go Build My Body,' Because The Men Who Were Successful That I Knew Of - Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis - They Were Men Of Action.

I Know How Important It Is To Have People Who Believe In You Even When You Don't Believe In Yourself.

As You Step Every Day And We're Going To See Challenges, We Going To See Failures, We Should Certainly Learn From The Failures And Be Gracious With Our Successes Too As Well.

If You're Going To Make A Comedy And If Your Sole Interest Is In Making People Laugh And Feel Good And Entertaining Them, Then You Check Your Ego At The Door.

The Goal [of Mine] Was Always To Work In As Many Different Genres As I Possibly Could.

You Will Go One On One With The Great One!

Shine It Up Real Nice, Turn It Sideways, And Stick It Straight Up Your Candy Ass!

I've Been Fortunate To Have Had The Life I Had Prior To Hollywood. I Wasn't Starving, I Was Going To Eat The Next Day. I Came To Hollywood Wanting A Career That Had Longevity, And I Wasn't Afraid To Take Risks Because I Had A Dollar In The Bank. I Wasn't Driven By Money As Much As I Was Driven By Making A Successful Transition. And I Was Smart Enough To Know That I Certainly Didn't Have All The Answers And I Needed To Surround Myself With Smart People And Be Willing To Take Risks And Be Willing To Fail.

I've Always Loved The Showmanship Of Professional Wrestling. While I Love Making Movies, I Love That Platform, Too.

Blood, Sweat & Respect. First Two You Give. Last One You Earn.

You Don't Need Directions, Just Point Yourself To The Top And Go!

I Love The 3d Revolution. I Love The Technology Today That Continues To Push The Envelope, Continues Break The New Ground, And Continues To Raise The Bar.

On The Night Test Faced The Great One, This Is What He'll See... Twelve Sharpshooters Stinging, Eleven Eyebrows Raising, Ten Spines A'bustin, Nine Noggins Knocking, Eight Kicks A'kicking, Seven Punches Punching, Six Suplexes Smashing, Five Seconds Of The People Chanting The Rock's Name... Four Rock Bottoms, Three People's Elbows, On Your Two Buckteeth, And An Ass-kicking All Over New Orleans!

But I Do Believe That There's Going To Be A Time Where All Movies Are Going To Be Made In 3d And It's Just Going To Be A Given, And That Is Going To Be An Exciting Time.

To Some Its Hump Day. To Us, It's Wednesday's Getting Its Ass Kicked And Thursday Just Asked Friday To Switch Places.

Success At Anything Will Always Come Down To This: Focus & Effort. And We Control Both.

It's Important For Everybody To Creatively Honor Him In The Best Way That We Possibly Can.

If You've Ever Been Hungry, You Can Never Be Full.

Making Movies Has Not Only Been An Incredibly Collaborative Process But There's Three Big Parts: Pre-production, Shooting Itself And Then Post-production, Which Leads Into Marketing. And If You're Passionate About The Movie And You Believe In It, And It Would Make Sense That You Are Having Done It, Then You Want To Get Out And Promote It. It Makes It A Lot Easier When The Film Is Good And People Are Enjoying It.

The Goal With Me, And The Way I Challenge Myself As An Actor, Is To Go From Genre To Genre. I Like That. A Lot Of Actors Always Challenge Themselves. But For Me The Challenge Lies Not Only In Getting Better, But Going From Drama To Comedy To Action Or Whatever The Case May Be, And Having A Wide Array Of Movies In Terms Of My Filmography.

Not Only Do I Think Being Nice And Kind Is Easy But Being Kind, In My Opinion, Is Important.

Happy Birthday To Steph, You're A Hoe With Big Breasts, So Take The Night Off From Hooking... If Ya Smell What The Rock's Cooking!

When I'm Unable To See A Mistake I Made Right Away. Maybe This Is My Taurus Mentality, But Sometimes I Don't See It And I Don't See It And Then, Before You Know It, I Finally See It, And I'm Like, "how The Hell Did I Not See That? It Was Right In Front Of Me All This Time." And I Have To Look At The Wake I Left Behind, The Disappointment. That Makes Me Feel Weak.

Any Time I'm On-screen It Is Realistic Because I Don't Pull My Punches Or Anything Like That.

What Matters Is Performances, Regardless Of What The Name Is, Whether It's The Rock - Which Is My Nickname And People Call Me That All The Time - It's No Big Deal. So, Whether It's The Rock Or Dwayne Johnson, In Terms Of Being Recognised I Just Think That The Goal Is To Be Recognised As A Good Actor. I Don't Put Much Thought Or Weight Into The Name, Or The Name Change, Or What It Is, Or What Does It Mean? It's Just A Nickname.

Take A Little Walk Down Know You Role Boulevard, Hang That Right On Jabroni Drive, And Then Proceed To Check Your Aunt Jemima No-pancake-havin' Ass Di-rectly Into The Smackdown Hotel!

Once You Believe In Who You Are And Who You Were Born To Be, It Can Be Very Powerful.

Always Asked, 'whats The Key To Success?' The Key Is, There Is No Key. Be Humble, Hungry And Always Be The Hardest Worker In The Room.

Michael Cole, The Rock Knows That You Have Never, Ever, Had A Piece Of Poontang Pie!

I Always Keep Moments That Were Defining For Me In My Past And Challenged Me In My Past - From Getting Evicted Out Of My Apartment When I Was 14 Years Old, To Being Cut From The Cfl [canadian Football League] And Only Having 7 Bucks In My Pocket, To Bouts With Depression - I Keep Moments Like That Very Close To Me Because It Continues To Be Great Motivators For Me. It Helps Keep Me Grounded, And It's A Good Reminder Of How Things Work, And I Never Want To Go Back To That.

I Like To Use The Hard Times Of The Past To Motivate Me Today.

I Didn't Want To Play By What Rules Are In Hollywood.

But Being On Location And Shooting, Whether Its In Puerto Rico Or Atlanta, It Always Reminds Me Of How Really Cool My Job Can Be. Interacting With The Fans Is One Of The Best Parts Of It.

The Wall! Your Success Is On The Other Side. Can't Jump Over It Or Go Around It. You Know What To Do.

There's Something Very Cool As An Actor When You Have An Opportunity To Play Somebody Who's Real, Whether They're Still Alive Or Not, But Who Has Lived A Life.

Being A True Bad Ass Has No Weight Or Gender Requirement - Just 100% Commitment To Greatness.

I Liked His Ability To Deal With A Lot Of The Negativity That Surrounded Him. Even Though He Was In A World That He Didn't Want To Be In, He Still Saw The Bigger Picture.

The Fact Of The Matter Is This: Austin Can Take His Ball, And Go Home. But As Far As The Rock Is Concerned, As Far As I'm Concerned, This Is Home.

I'm Sorry, Mankind Can't Get To The Phone Right Now, Cause He's Got The Rock's Foot In His Mouth!

I Love Driving The Cool Cars, But There Is Nothing Like Driving A Pickup Truck.

With Drive And A Bit Of Talent, You Can Move Mountains.

Look At The Rock's Competition! Look At Him! It Looks Like A Big Monkey Came Down Here, Took A Crap, And Out Came Mankind!

I Love Making People Laugh And Feel Good, And That's Awesome And Special For Me To Be Able To Do That, But There Really Is Nothing Like Kicking Ass Whether It's On A Major Scale, Or Whether It's In More Of A Dramatic Fashion. Being Physical And Taking Care Of Business The Old-fashioned Way Is Something That I Love Doing.

If Ya' Smell What The Rock Is Cookin'!

Sometimes When We Get Our Ass Kicked And We're Down, Sometimes We Stay Down, And Sometimes We Get Depressed And Sometimes We Don't Know How To Handle It, And Sometimes We Don't Know What's Going On, And Sometimes We Feel Like It's Not Worth Going On.

The Aloha Spirit Is Something That Is Very Special And Very Meaningful To Us And Our Polynesian Culture. Those Of You Who Have Had The Opportunity To Visit Hawaii, Or Any Of The Polynesian Islands, Know That It's A Very Special Thing. It's An Intangible, And When You Get Off The Plane And Have Your Feet On The Ground There, It Energetically Takes You To A Different Place.

The Rock Has Just One Thing To Say To You: Poontang Your Ass On Out Of Here!

The Whole Idea Is Just To Continue To Make Movies That I Enjoy Playing And That Audiences Are Going To Enjoy Me In... Just To Put Out Quality On A Lot Of Different Levels.

My Goal As An Actor Is To Grow And Try Different Things.

Wrestling Was Like Stand-up Comedy For Me.

When You Walk Up To Opportunities Door, Don't Knock It... Kick That B*tch In, Smile And Introduce Yourself

William Regal, What Does Besmirched Mean?

We Do Today What They Won't, So Tomorrow We Accomplish What They Can't.

For Me It Came From The Material. It Was So Well Written And Brought The Opportunity To Work With Great Actors. And Of Course The Opportunity To Mince About Was An Added Element That I Wanted To Take Advantage Of!

Success Isn't Overnight. It's When Everyday You Get A Little Better Than The Day Before. It All Adds Up.

I Think That Always Makes It Fun, Trying To Create A Heroic Character And Putting Your Own Twist On It And Injecting Your Own Personality Into It.

I'd Love To Do A Musical. I've Been Known To Have A Good Step Or Two. I'm Half Samoan, You Know, And Part Of Our Culture Is Singing And Dancing Daily.

Grind Hard, Shine Hard.

'you Can't See Me'? What Are You Playing? Peekaboo?

Every Once In A While I Get The Highly Inappropriate Proposal Which Is Like, 'wow, Really! You Don't Even Know Me And I Don't Know You At All, And You Want That To Happen? Tonight? Ok, I Get Off Work At 7.30.'

In My Mind At That Time, At 14, The Men Who Were Successful Were Stallone And Schwarzenegger And Guys Like That - Harrison Ford - Who Were These Men Of Action. I Was Like, "okay, They're Successful, They're Not Getting Evicted, They Built Their Bodies - I'm Gonna Go Build My Body." It Was Like That.

I'm A Passionate, Hardcore Fisherman. Biggest Fish I Caught? A 200-pound Tarpon.

In Life We Get An Opportunity To Do Some Cool Things, And Some Things That Are Fun And That We Like Doing.

The First Step To Achieving Your Goal, Is To Take A Moment To Respect Your Goal. Know What It Means To You To Achieve It.

Great Success Breeds A Lot Of Things, Including Sequels.

There Was A Time In My Life When Opportunities Were So Few And Far Between They Were Like Little Cracks In The Wall, And If One Opportunity Came My Way, I Would Scratch And Claw And Bite And I Would Do Anything I Could To Make Sure That I Grabbed That Opportunity By The Throat And I Did Not Let It Go.

Don't Be Afraid To Be Ambitious About Your Goals. Hard Work Never Stops. Neither Should Your Dreams.

Any Athlete Or Any Actor Who's Preparing For A Long Time To Step On A Stage Or Step On A Field Or Step On A Movie Set, Who Suffers An Injury Right Before You're Getting Ready To Perform Or To Execute - It Is A Massive Challenge That's Thrown Your Way That You Didn't Expect.

I Like The Idea Of Working In Different Genres And Transcending Genres And Hopefully Finding Success, And Ultimately Make Movies People Like.

Know Your Roll And Shut Your Mouth!

Those Who Are Truly Brave, Shall Never Live In Fear.

I Think There Are A Number Of Things That You Can Do To Encourage Your Kids' Dreams But I Do Believe In Speaking By Experience Of Having A Lot Of Help Along The Way, Stumbling In The Past. We've All Stumbled And We Certainly All Deserve To Get Up And Walk Again.

I'm Very Low-key. I Don't Really Blend In, So It's Difficult To Go Out In Public. I Like To Do Things That Are Kind Of Quiet, Whether It's A Dinner At My House Or A Restaurant, Or A Movie Night At Home.

Social Media, To Me, Is Like A Marriage. You Have To Foster It And Take Care Of It And Commit To It. And You Have To Understand Your Partner.

You Wanna Do This...you Wanna Go Right Now...do You Want To, Go?...then Go Get The Rock A Bologna Sandwich Because This Doesn't Concern You.

If I Like It, If I Think The Character Is Going To Be Fun, If I Think The Story Is Good And If It Appeals To Me, Then I Want To Do It.

I Never Wanted To Stay In One Genre; I Never Wanted To Be Pigeon-holed Or Defined As The Actor Who Only Worked In One Genre. I Want To Be Able To Work In All Different Genres. For Me It's Fun, And That's How I Grow As An Actor.

Now, Bad Ass, You Run Your Mouth About Summerslam. Well, Here's The Situation. The Rock Says This, If The Rock Hits You He'll Kill You. If He Misses, The Wind Behind The Punch Will Give You Pneumonia And You'll Die Anyway, So The Choice Is Yours, Jabroni.

I'm Gonna Stick Your Head So Far Up Your *ss Your Gonna Have To Cut Holes In Your Nipples To See!

If You Make A Good Family Movie, Then Everybody In The Family Can Relate To Somebody, Or In This Case Something. That's Always Enjoyable. There's Always An Important Place For Family Movies.

One Of The Skills I Had To Learn And Become Proficient In Is Kissing A Man. I Had Never Kissed A Man. Will Smith Did It In His Movies, So Did Jake Gyllenhaal, And I Figured It Was My Time. So It Was Me And Steve Carell - Fantastic.

In 1995 I Had $7 Bucks In My Pocket And Knew Two Things: I'm Broke As Hell And One Day I Won't Be. You Can Achieve Anything!

Creating Things I Think, Especially As An Actor - Wanting To Bring To The Table Things That Have Never Been Done Before, But Also Making Sure They're Of High Quality And Not Having A Fear.

Creating Things

Be The Person That When Your Feet Touch The Floor In The Morning The Devil Says, "awe S***.. They're Up".

It Doesn't Matter What Your Name Is!

Wwe Is A Space Where I Thrived, And I Loved, And I Still Do. I Love Connecting With An Audience; That Is The Greatest Thing About Going Back To Wwe.

Training Not Only Anchors My Day But Also Allows Me To Tap Into Endless Energy And Intensity. Whether I Was Performing At Wrestlemania Or Shooting A 16 Hour Day On A Movie Set, Training Allows The Floodgates To Open. It Carries Me Through The Rest Of The Day And Night.

I Don't Worry About Overexposure [in Work], I Think It's Important Just To Go In, And Think About Quality Work And Try To Put The Best Movies Out.

I've Learned Over The Years That When It Comes To Success, Consistency Is Key. Consistent Hard Work That We May Not Like Doing Today, But For A Payoff We'll Love Tomorrow. Earn It. Enjoy It.

Training For Me Is A Metaphor For Life, Period. The Dedication, The Determination, The Desire, The Work Ethic, The Great Successes And The Great Failures - I Take That Into Life.

You Don't Sign Up For A Divorce When You Get Married. It's Very Painful. But It's Taught Me A Great Deal About Myself.

With A Haircut Like That And A Face Like That, It Looks Like Billy Ray Cyrus Went And Had Sex With A Retarded Hyena.

The Jabroni Beating, Pie Eating, Trail-blazin', Eyebrow Raisin', All Around, Smack It Down People's Champ, The Rock!

I Want Someone Who Can Trust That My Big Hands Are Going To Take Care Of Them.

There's So Much Noise That's Happening In Our World, But The Little Voice That You've Always Got To Listen To Is Your Gut And Your Intuition, And You Can Do Things And Go Beyond Boundaries, If You To Trust That Gut And Instinct.

Change Doesn't Begin When We Get Knocked On Our Ass. It Begins The Moment We Decide To Get Back Up On Our Own Feet

Sometimes If You Just Take The Time To Really Pay Attention And Break It Down, You Can Figure Out What Caused It. And From There, Generally, I Can Pull Myself Up Out Of It. And If I Can't, That's Where The Support Group Comes In.

When I First Came Into Acting, I Had Great Opportunities To Make A Decent Movie. I Had A Run There In 2005, '06, '07 - For A Long Time It Was "oh, He's The Best Thing In The Movie That's Not That Good." I Started Questioning: Did I Make The Right Choice? Should I Have Stayed In Wrestling A Bit Longer? And Then Budgets Became Lower And Lower And The Pay Kinda Stayed The Same And There Wasn't A Lot Of Growth.

I'll Do A Musical. An Ass-kickin' Musical!

If You've Ever Been Hungry Then You'll Never Be Full And I Know What It's Like To Be Hungry. When I Was 13, I Realized I Could Control My Destiny Through Hard Work. I Had My Hands And I Was Going To Work My Ass Off, I Was Going To Initiate And Create Some Sort Of Change In My Life.

All Successes Begin With Self-discipline. It Starts With You.

It's Nice To Be Important But It's Even More Important To Be Nice. I Grew Up In A World Where There Were A Lot Of Big Physical Guys...and Woman So It's Always Important To Be Nice To Me.

Why Do You Ask The Rock Stupid Questions? Why Are You An Ugly Hermaphrodite? Nobody Knows, Kevin Kelly.

When I Train, I'm Peeled Away. I'm At My Rawest State. Generally There's Spit Coming Out My Mouth, Sweat Pouring Out My Body And Every Once In Awhile I May Have Just Finished Throwing Up. Those Are Pretty Good Indications That It's Not Time To Talk And You Should Just Pass Me By.

I Remember Crying My Eyes Out When I Watched The End Of The Lion King

I Look For Characters That Are Fun And That I'm Going To Have Fun Playing. By The Way, That's Whether It's Drama, Sci-fi, Action, Comedy, Family Movies Or Action-comedy. I Just Always Want To Have Fun Doing It. That's The Bottom Line.

It Doesn't Matter What You Think!

Now Go Back To Supercuts And Get Your $5 Back Jabroni!

There Is No Substitute For Hardwork. Always Be Humble And Hungry.

In My Entire Career, I've Never Cried, Consistently, Through A Movie, Ever.

If You Check Your Ego At The Door When It Comes To Comedy, You've Got A Pretty Good Shot At Making A Great Movie That You Can Commit Yourself To, You Can Jump Off The Proverbial Cliff With, And Have A Great Time, And The Audiences Respond To That.

Kevin Kelly, Let The Rock Answer Your Question With A Question Of His Own: Are You Mentally, As Well As Physically Prepared To Tickle The Anus Of A Monkey?
