I'm the age now that Rock was when he picked me up, so I can understand how he felt - how his fame limited his freedom. You get kinder as you go along.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.
Personally, I've never really wanted to be a rock star. That wasn't my motivation in life. It kind of happened.
I'm good friends with The Rock, and I talk to him all the time. And he says that, even though his movie career has taken off, he misses the instant gratification of wrestling, and the live crowds, and I could see being that way myself.
I lost my innocence with Johnny Cash. I used to watch the 'Johnny Cash Show' on television in Wangaratta when I was about 9 or 10 years old. At that stage I had really no idea about rock n' roll. I watched him, and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing - a beautiful, evil thing.
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
Oh, I love Rock to death, man. He doesn't inspire me as an actor but, I mean, come on.
I'm too young to have experienced firsthand the '70s rock, but when I was in high school, me and my friends were super into Neil Young. That was the grunge era, and he was considered cool again.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Wanting to be a rock star, I get it. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, dude! The freedom!'
I don't have any rock star demeanor to me. I just can't pull that off.
