Dwayne Johnson
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me.
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.
Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.
With action films, it's great if it's not just driven by action, but by a good story and interesting characters, as well. Though, there's nothin' like kicking butt!
I like the idea of making a big, fun, adventure type of movie.
I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like.
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.
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.
I'm a passionate, hardcore fisherman. Biggest fish I caught? A 200-pound tarpon.
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 film I've enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in 'The Wrestler.'
I've always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.
Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
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.
I absolutely believed when I was young because the Tooth Fairy was always good to me. The Tooth Fairy generally left me a dollar or two dollars and, as a kid, that was a lot of money.
When a family film is done well, there's a character that every member of the audience can relate to. I want to be one of those guys.
I learned a long time ago how to be coachable.
There are definitely people who disagree with certain creative decisions you make. Pleasing everyone is pretty hard.
With all the... success that I've been lucky enough to get? That doesn't happen unless the home life is solid.
My parents weren't actors or studio executives.
I started in action, and then I went to comedy school.
I love making movies, but there's nothing like performing live.
Come on, you can't name a truck after a chick.
I love WWE, and I love that platform. There is no other platform in the world that gives me that instant gratification. There is just no other platform.
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 love Steve Carell.
As a father, safety is always a top of mind issue for me.
To be immortalized in a ride is a very cooI thing.
I've always loved the idea of playing Black Adam.
In Hollywood, a lot of times when something is in development, it just takes a lot of time.
As an athlete, you'd better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.
When I was 8, I thought I was Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Elvis, and Chuck Norris all at once.
We all live with cancer, whether it is present in ourselves or affects someone we love.
I used to get into a lot of fights.
Yeah, I was a delinquent. It was when I was in the ninth grade. I was doing stupid stuff, and the cops came into the class. I was humiliated more than anything.
My grandfather was one of the very, very first, if not the first, Samoan wrestlers to become known on a worldwide basis.
What I like to do is get the family in the pick-up truck... and then we just go for a drive. That's it!
I know Gov. Christie. We've met a couple of times.
I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I've been such a big fan of his acting.
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.
In the '60s and '70s and early '80s, the trainers would grind you, and eventually they would break something - they would break an ankle in ways that it would heal. It was just the way of the business, to ensure that you learned respect for wrestling.
In wrestling, there's a shelf life, and some wrestlers don't pay attention to the shelf life.
When I was ten, I won the horseshoe-throwing contest at summer camp. I was also the Wiffle ball champion in my town.
When I was a kid, I never thought much about football. I thought about following in my family's footsteps and going into professional wrestling.
I plan on taking athletics as far as I can.
