I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but there is a difference between the John Cena character you see on television and me as a human being.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The guy who could be me, but he knows when to draw the line, is John Cena. John Cena can rock 'n' roll, let me tell you.
At the end of the day, all I can be is me. I'm not John Cena. In my 30 years, I've never been John Cena. I don't even think about becoming him. I just want to be - I want to be Roman Reigns. I want to do things my way. I think that's why I'm in the deep water with Vince McMahon and 'The Authority'.
Everybody either hates or loves John Cena; there's no medium. I feel like that I've accomplished something when I get people to cheer for John Cena. I feel like I've done something.
Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.
That's the great thing with the WWE. They want you to be like John Cena, they want you to be like The Rock, and they definitely give you that platform.
We really do have a lot of personality in WWE. You have to, to be in this job. You showcase a lot of personality.
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
I think there is a difference between being a celebrity and being an actor.
Being a professional wrestler surely prepares you for any acting role in that we have to act on live television, so there's a lot of pressure put there.
There is no 'off' being John Cena: it's always on. In a way, I think that has helped me, because over the years I have been able to be humble. I have been able to be humiliated in front of the WWE universe in a good way.
