Success isn't overnight. It's when everyday you get a little better than the day before. It all adds up.

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.

What matters is performances, regardless of what the name is, whether it's The Rock - which is my nickname and people call me that all the time - it's no big deal. So, whether it's The Rock or Dwayne Johnson, in terms of being recognised I just think that the goal is to be recognised as a good actor. I don't put much thought or weight into the name, or the name change, or what it is, or what does it mean? It's just a nickname.

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

My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

I like to use the hard times of the past to motivate me today.

If something stands between you and your success - move it. Never be denied.
