I liked his ability to deal with a lot of the negativity that surrounded him. Even though he was in a world that he didn't want to be in, he still saw the bigger picture.
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.
Not only do I think being nice and kind is easy but being kind, in my opinion, is important.
I know how important it is to have people who believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself.
When I train, I'm peeled away. I'm at my rawest state. Generally there's spit coming out my mouth, sweat pouring out my body and every once in awhile I may have just finished throwing up. Those are pretty good indications that it's not time to talk and you should just pass me by.
Once you believe in who you are and who you were born to be, it can be very powerful.
Think back 5 yrs ago. Think of where you're at today. Think ahead 5 yrs and what you want to accomplish. Be Unstoppable.
One hard day of work proves you have heart. But day after day is what proves you have maturity and commitment.
Grind Hard, Shine Hard.
If something stands between you and your success - move it. Never be denied.
Being a true bad ass has no weight or gender requirement - just 100% commitment to greatness.
Success isn't overnight. It's when everyday you get a little better than the day before. It all adds up.
Don't be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.
Be the person that when your feet touch the floor in the morning the devil says, "awe s***.. they're up".
