Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.
If you’ve ever been hungry, you can never be full.
Attitude and enthusiasm play a big part in my life. I get excited about the things that inspire me. I also believe in laughing and having a good time.
If I love you, I show you I love you every day. Little things, big things.
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.
If you ever see The Rock working out in the gym, don’t think you can just go up and disturb his workout and expect him to take a picture. He’s there to work, so kindly just pass the silverback on by or he’ll rip your face off.

The one thing that I keep learning over and over again is that I don’t know nothing. I mean, that’s my life lesson.
I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.
For different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.
Check your ego at the door. The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success.
I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of 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.
I’m always asked, ‘What’s the secret to success?’ But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.
