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.

More quotes by Dwayne Johnson
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.

Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.
Dwayne Johnson
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.

The jabroni beating, pie eating, trail-blazin', eyebrow raisin', all around, smack it down People's Champ, The Rock!

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.
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
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
With a haircut like that and a face like that, it looks like Billy Ray Cyrus went and had sex with a retarded hyena.

You don't need directions, just point yourself to the top and go!
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
In life we get an opportunity to do some cool things, and some things that are fun and that we like doing.

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.'
Dwayne Johnson
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.
Dwayne Johnson
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.
