The successful men I admired all built their bodies.
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.
If someone tells you “you can'tthey're showing you their limits, not yours.
There is no substitute for hardwork. Always be humble and hungry.
I love Steve Carell.
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!
There's this lingering philosophy that movie stars shouldn't do TV.
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.
Playing big, heroic characters with heart is always a lot of fun. I enjoy making movies like that, and a lot of people love to live vicariously through those characters.
Working out anchors my day.
I'm a passionate, hardcore fisherman. Biggest fish I caught? A 200-pound tarpon.
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.'
I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of them.
There are definitely people who disagree with certain creative decisions you make. Pleasing everyone is pretty hard.
I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into 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.
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.
I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I've been such a big fan of his acting.
To be immortalized in a ride is a very cooI thing.
When you have something as unique and special as the 'Fast & Furious' franchise, you want to create an experience for the fans that they can only feel and experience at Universal Parks.
With all the... success that I've been lucky enough to get? That doesn't happen unless the home life is solid.
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.
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 reputation precedes me now.
When I was a kid, I loved Elvis, and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. But I had no connection to Hollywood - and being a movie star was such a far-fetched idea, growing up in Hawaii.
I've always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.
For 'Hercules,' I went for the demigod look: big and mean. When you're playing a character like the son of Zeus, you only get one shot.
Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.
Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains. I know. I've done 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.
Mickey Rourke's character in 'The Wrestler' - that was my dad, that was my uncles, that was so many members of my family. It was the only thing they knew. And then they would end up wrestling for a hundred bucks, go to autograph signings for two hundred bucks.
I'll never, ever be full. I'll always be hungry. Obviously, I'm not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it, 'Once you've ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you'll never, ever be full.'
By the time I was 23 years old, I had multiple arrests.
My genetic make-up is one of physicality. I'm a visceral guy.
I started in action, and then I went to comedy school.
I don't have a need for speed. I'm not that guy.
Blood, sweat and respect. First two you give. Last one you earn.
I know Gov. Christie. We've met a couple of times.
Life is anything but predictable.
I've always loved the idea of playing Black Adam.
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.
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 break ground. I trailblaze.
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.
For me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o'clock, and I'll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I'll go train.
As a father, safety is always a top of mind issue for me.
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.
I do all my own stunts. I'm kidding.
