It was either therapy or die.

Boxers are very isolated - or isolated within their own camps.

I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change.

Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.

I couldn't direct traffic. It's hard enough just acting.

I had gotten injured during the boxing, and I was supposed to take several months off because I'd had a couple of concussions, and so I sort of just left the boxing and got into the acting by accident.

Since I knew wrestling was all choreographed, I thought, Oh, they don't get hurt at all. But I walked away with a renewed respect for the sport. Because I was very ignorant before - I knew nothing about it.
