I know that some actors take acting terribly seriously. I take it seriously in that if someone pays me to do it I know I have to deliver.

Sometimes it's hard to get people to take me seriously as an actor when they just see me as this WWE muscle head.

I've always done method acting. I'm a method actor, and I've done that for years. I never did acting and decided to take it seriously because all the parts people want me to do were playing the pretty role. If I want to play someone pretty, I'll play myself.

I don't think I could be happy as an actor if there was a tyrant on the set.

I suppose I could be accused of taking acting too seriously and losing the fun of it. I do take my work very seriously; I take on the responsibility of it.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.
