More quotes by Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
I tell you, the arts - and especially ballet - the discipline is extraordinary. I was extremely impressed.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
The wall! Your success is on the other side. Can't jump over it or go around it. You know what to do.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
I had no coaching. I came out of the world of pro wrestling. In that job there are no agents, no publicists, no media training. It's just you and the crowd, and you have to be real to win them over. And if you don't, you're not gonna eat. And that's it.
Dwayne Johnson
As an actor, you can have your own backstory and prepare all the details that you need to know for your character.
Dwayne Johnson
Actors have a platform, especially during awards season. Which I respect. Everyone should speak out. Here's the thing: When it comes to using the platform, I'm a firm believer that when there's something that needs to be said, I'll say it.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
William Regal, what does besmirched mean?
Dwayne Johnson
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
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
If I had to describe myself to an alien I'd say I was bigger than the average human, enjoy a drink or two with a good meal and have a bigger head than most. I'd also say I'm really handsome - especially if they were a female alien.
Dwayne Johnson
Success isn't always about 'greatness'. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like.
Dwayne Johnson
I can usually get the right connection with the crowd and I don't have to be jumping off ladders.
Dwayne Johnson
I like the idea of making a big, fun, adventure type of movie.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
Well, The Rock says this, you should be concerned with fixing yourself a nice, tall glass of shut-up juice!
Dwayne Johnson
