My father's only advice is to 'do what makes you happy,' and I follow it religiously.

My father doesn't like to promote me every time, and he wants me to build my own image.

If somebody asks me to choose a biopic, it would be Narain Karthikeyan because I love racing.

I'd love for Samantha to continue acting after our marriage. She has worked hard to achieve her stardom. Unlike me, she had no family empire to back her career in Telugu cinema.

Why am I here? I'm not lucky. That's God.

I'm a free spirit.

Like Frank Sinatra, I'm doing it my way.

I go down the street, people see me: 'Hey, I pity-' right on, man, that's a compliment to me.

Life guided me to being a bodyguard, protecting people, then in the movies, so I'm happy with everything because basically all I ever wanted to do was be a good son and take care of my mother.

I'm so tough and so bad, I can be humble and lift another guy up.

Everybody has done something that we wish we didn't say or do and wish we could take it back.

I used to bodyguard for some celebrities and other people, and when I wasn't doing that, I used to work at a disco as a doorman or a bouncer.

If you look at my job, my union card, it says 'actor.' It don't say nothing about celebrity, movie star, nothing like that, and that's one thing that keeps me humble.

When you give, it comes back to you.

I take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They've got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I've got to be conscious of that.

If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don't just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.

I was a straight-A student. But I was a bad lad.

Any man who doesn't love his mama can't be no friend of mine.

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

This guy Clubber Lang, I've been him all my life. He's mean and hungry just like me.

I don't do Shakespeare. I don't talk in that kind of broken English.

I'm a Christian - I really don't believe in UFOs.

I'm not a star. I don't feel I'm so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you've got my signature on a piece of paper?
