I was a poor kid. I came from nothing. We didn't have any money; a lot of times we didn't have any food, and now, all of a sudden, I'm a superhero in a Marvel movie? Talk about the American dream, man - I'm living it.

From David Bautista

Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm already motivated. It just can't happen. Me being motivated was never a factor. Never.

From David Bautista

'Smallville' gig was another one of those things I got through WWE. At that point, I had absolutely no aspirations to pursue acting.

From David Bautista

I'm particular about the projects that I've chosen. Each one of them, I've taken a step up, like climbing a ladder. Before, it was baby-steps, up to 'Riddick.' Then I took this huge leap onto 'Guardians!' It was such a higher level, this huge project which originally I never thought I'd have a chance in hell of getting.

From David Bautista

I'm still learning and trying to become a better actor. I still feel insecurity.

From David Bautista

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

From David Bautista

The pressure is always stepping on stage with actors who are just so well-established. It's a scary thing. I haven't been around the block that many times, especially not on big projects. Dialogue makes things easier. When you start bouncing dialogue off of other actors, it becomes comfortable; it becomes conversational.
