“One hard day of work proves you have heart. But day after day is what proves you have maturity and commitment.”

Change doesn’t begin when we get knocked on our ass. It begins the moment we decide to get back up on our own feet.

I like to use the hard times of the past to motivate me today.

Be the person that when your feet touch the floor in the morning the devil says, “awe s***.. they’re up”.

I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.

As long as I can do something that I am passionate about and that I can really enjoy and the audience can enjoy. That is where my enthusiasm comes from.

BLOOD, SWEAT & RESPECT. First two you GIVE. Last one you EARN.

In life we get an opportunity to do some cool things, and some things that are fun and that we like doing.

I’ve always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.

That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.

Getting back into the action genre is like going back home. It’s great.

The whole idea is just to continue to make movies that I enjoy playing and that audiences are going to enjoy me in just to put out quality on a lot of different levels.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains.

It’s important for everybody to creatively honor him in the best way that we possibly can.

Don’t be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.

One of the most important things you can accomplish is just being yourself.

There’s so much noise that’s happening in our world, but the little voice that you’ve always got to listen to is your gut and your intuition, and you can do things and go beyond boundaries, if you to trust that gut and instinct.

If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness

There’s always a way – if you’re committed.

We must be committed to getting back up and beginning again the exact same number of times that we fall, trip, or get pushed down.⁣

When you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide.

My brother!! I wouldn’t be the player I am today without your commitment and friendship throughout this whole journey!

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
