A collection of more than 300 quotes from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: pro wrestling phenom, actor, businessman, and cultural icon, providing a unique look into the mind of one of the most recognisable and influential figures of our era. Part of the In Their Own Words series.

This collection of quotes has been curated from Dwayne Johnson's numerous public statements

interviews, social media posts, television appearances, and more. It's a comprehensive picture of his legacy as one of the world's most recognisable and influential celebrities. The quotes in this collection touch on football, wrestling, Hollywood, building a business, heritage, activism, and more.

Johnson, a third-generation wrestler, rose to prominence in the late 1990s as one of the most electrifying and charismatic performers in the history of professional wrestling. Debuting in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) as Rocky Maivia, he quickly gained attention for his athleticism, microphone skills, and larger-than-life persona. Embracing the moniker 'The Rock', he became a cornerstone of the Attitude Era, and his unparalleled ability to connect with audiences propelled him to multiple WWE Championships. His catchphrases and signature moves became iconic in wrestling lore and garnered mainstream attention beyond the world of wrestling as well.

After achieving superstardom in the ring, Johnson transitioned to Hollywood, eventually becoming one of the highest-paid actors in the world and starring in blockbuster films including The Mummy and Jumanji, as well as appearing in DC Comics franchise films and voicing Maui in the Disney hit Moana, a nod to his Samoan heritage that he proudly touts as central to his identity. Beyond acting, he has built a business empire that spans multiple enterprises, including a production company, a premium tequila brand, sportswear, and a digital content platform.

Johnson's entrepreneurial spirit and versatility beyond his entertainment career earned him a nod as one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2019. Now, Dwayne ""The Rock"" Johnson: In His Own Words offers a unique look into the mind of one of the world's most captivating and beloved personas.
