I could count my modeling jobs on my hands and toes. When I graduated from college, I moved to New York specifically to study acting, and I needed to pay the bills, and it's better to make a couple thousand dollars in one day than to wait tables six days a week.
A community is a group of people who have come together, and they work and they live to try and improve the standard of living and quality of life - and I don't mean money.
Clearly, there are a thousand and one scenarios for how someone can slip through the cracks. I'll walk down the street and see a homeless person, and I'll want to stop them and say, How did this happen? Where's your mother? Are you physically ill? Mentally ill?
SUNY gives you a world-class education.
I love to utilize my celebrity status in a responsible and constructive and substantive manner. I like to get my hands dirty rather than a photo op.
I always equate wrestling to having been in the Marine Corps.
I was an activist long before I even entertained the possibility of being an actor.
When I wrestled in College, my team was very good.
As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers
Acting is my career and activism is my passionate hobby. But acting is my livelihood.
Wrestling is a team sport, and an individual sport all rolled into one.
In terms of instilling the values of mental toughness and work ethic, discipline is the gift that keeps on giving.
