It's always been a dream of mine, and a childhood fantasy, to play a great champion. I would much rather haven been an athlete than an actor. This is like some second place consolation prize.

As soon as I ended up being incarcerated, I said, you know, this is not the life for me.

For a lot of explosions and stuff like that [in Transformers] you're harnessed to something getting swung in the air or dragged onto something or thrown onto something.

I don't wanna hear nobody complain that they're getting paid all this money and people won't leave them alone. It's part of it.

I have more money now than I know what to do with.

I want to give my kids the world, but I also want them to appreciate everything, to succeed, to be good people, to enjoy life. This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything.

Immortality... Is that a super power?
