John Cena Quotes

The secret to acting is don't act. Be you, with add-ons.

For me, personality acting is not that interesting. I don't want to just be myself.

There's no way I set out to be a certain kind of symbol - the way I dress is the way I am, the way I live my life.

When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.

Every character I play is me.

We don't really intentionally try to sound like ourselves. I think that would be overthinking.

No matter where you go, you are what you are playa.

You, quote, find your voice, unquote, when you are able to invent this one character who resembles you, obviously, and probably is more like you than anyone else on earth, but is not the equivalent to you.

Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me--a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.

You might not be what you say you are, but what you say, you are.

Every director is themselves; [they're] not playing a part.

Remember to be yourself.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

I don't think a lot of people are like, "I'm just quirky!" Or if they are, it's a stage they're going through as they figure out who they are. I never felt like I was choosing roles that were quirky.

Always try to be yourself.

I've always been this way. My father taught this to me. Here's the thing, you have to understand; the thing about having money: Money and fame don't change you, all it does is allow you to be more of who you are anyway.

My goal is to let people see who I am as a person, not just a basketball player. Many people see athletes in a certain way - flat and one dimensional. I want to change that view.

Sometimes I think people are famous because they're themselves and they do a role and you see them do it.

If you can't be yourself, what's the point of being anyone else?

I don't really see myself that way, as some typical sexy young ingénue. I've never been that way. And, for a while, there was a disconnect between who I am and how I present myself on a public platform. That was because I didn't necessarily feel comfortable sharing that much of myself with other people who I didn't know.

To me, the most poetic and intelligent way to bring up a subject is by showing very simply who you are and what you believe in.

The intention of showing myself to the world has always been to be how I want to be and how I'm comfortable in the world, never to be anonymous. Right now, I'm just going with my instincts, and this is what I feel like doing. I'm always honest in what I put across.

I'm not acting; I'm not playing me. People forget that their actions make them who they are.

About all you can do in life is be who you are.

Maybe that's why people take pictures of themselves, to avoid being described.
