Great Success Breeds A Lot

I've Been Fortunate To Have Had The Life I Had Prior To Hollywood. I Wasn't Starving, I Was Going To Eat The Next Day. I Came To Hollywood Wanting A Career That Had Longevity, And I Wasn't Afraid To Take Risks Because I Had A Dollar In The Bank. I Wasn't Driven By Money As Much As I Was Driven By Making A Successful Transition. And I Was Smart Enough To Know That I Certainly Didn't Have All The Answers And I Needed To Surround Myself With Smart People And Be Willing To Take Risks And Be Willing To Fail.

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.

When You Walk Up To Opportunities Door, Don't Knock It... Kick That B*tch In, Smile And Introduce Yourself

If You've Ever Been Hungry, You Can Never Be Full.

I Didn't Want To Play By What Rules Are In Hollywood.
