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

I was brought up as an only child, and we were very close. But when I was 14, we got evicted. We came home to a padlock, and I looked up at my mom and she was crying, and there was nothing to do.

When he speaks to you he speaks with an earnest vibe and an earnest energy.

Our reputations precedes us. If I know someone is not nice, not kind, an asshole – I generally don’t want to work with them.

My philosophy is, it’s always very rewarding when you can make an audience laugh. I don’t mind making fun of myself. I like self-deprecating comedy. But I’d like you to laugh with me occasionally, too.

We do today what they won’t, so tomorrow we accomplish what they can’t.

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.

It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can’t imagine a day without her!

My chief job is to constantly stir or rekindle the curiosity of people that gets driven out by bureaucracy and formal schooling systems.

I think that if you’re just a good person, you work hard, you say “yes,” and you are driven.

Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won’t put these futures back together.

Never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you’re dead.

Bill Hicks – blowtorch, excavator, truthsayer, and brain specialist. He will correct your vision. Others will drive on the road he built.

It really moved the dial politically. That’s what is needed in the women’s movement – a strategy that can drive awareness and culture change.

You can drive out nature with a pitch fork But it always comes roaring back again.
