Don't be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.
The first step to achieving your goal, is to take a moment to respect your goal. Know what it means to you to achieve it.
My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
The goal [of mine] was always to work in as many different genres as I possibly could.
You like to live life without regret but that’s what the good Lord intended for me – that’s just the way it was. My goal was to make it in the NFL, I played with a lot of great players in college who went on to have illustrious, incredible careers and in the end it just didn’t happen for me. I failed at that.
The goal with me, and the way I challenge myself as an actor, is to go from genre to genre. I like that. A lot of actors always challenge themselves. But for me the challenge lies not only in getting better, but going from drama to comedy to action or whatever the case may be, and having a wide array of movies in terms of my filmography.
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.
My goal as an actor is to grow and try different things.
