You don't want to go right, if everyone thinks you're going to go right. You go left, on purpose. Sometimes you can't explain why, and you can't explain what left looks like, but you just do it.

The moment where I realized how little I actually was, was when Dave Bautista picked me off the ground and I still wasn't even at his pec yet. I was like, "Oh my God, this man is massive."

I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family. I was raised by parents who said, 'If you don't go to work every day, you're not contributing', so that's my mentality. I have to work every day; I have to bring home a paycheck.

People don't realize that I started in musical theater. That's where my roots are.

I think that I am lucky and blessed to have the job that I have. I'm trying to create longevity. If that means that I transition and do different things at different points in my life, then that's fine.

I was always inspired by Sigourney [Weaver]. She's been able to have such beautiful diversity in her career and that's a really impressive thing.

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.
