I did think for many, many years that because of my ability I could beat the system. And I was wrong Picture Quote #1

I spent a lot of years trying to beat the system and, in the end, the system kicked my behind good Picture Quote #1

I still work out most days. When I do it, I go full blast five or six days a week, two to three hours a day. I enjoy it. It’s therapeutic for me Picture Quote #1

In boxing, you don’t know what’s going to happen. In wrestling, it’s already prearranged Picture Quote #1

I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change Picture Quote #1

Change for me was really hard because I had built myself up to be a certain kind of man my whole life, as men are where I come from. I thought I got to handle things different that’s gonna make me feel like a real pussy. For me it was hard to turn the other cheek. Even though it’s a stronger choice. It was very hard to make the change, but I had to in order to survive. Otherwise they would have won Picture Quote #1

What I’ve got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety Picture Quote #1
