Especially, I don't want to ever be compared to The Rock because I'd be the poor man's version of The Rock. I'm just not him; it's not who I am as a person or as a performer. The Rock's very big and bold, and I'm not. Dave Bautista bigboldcompare share on social
Just getting auditions was rough. But also just learning how to act - when I did my first role, in a film I did which was a favour to a friend, I realised I was really bad at it. Dave Bautista actauditionbad Change image and share on social

I don't want to intimidate people. There's nothing bullyish about me, you know. If there's anybody who's anti-bully, it's me. Dave Bautista antibullybullyish Change image and share on social
My first acting lessons were Shakespeare. The first time I ever started working with a coach was doing scenes from 'Measure for Measure,' which were tough dramatic scenes. And then 'Taming of the Shrew,' which required comedic timing. And that's the kind of stuff I love. Dave Bautista actcoachcomedic share on social

For some reason, I'm the guy people love to hate, which I think is weird. People who know me find that very strange, but for some reason, I am. I don't mind being that guy - I have fun with it. Dave Bautista findfunguy Change image and share on social
I internalize everything, keep everything inside. I'm not used to spilling my guts, and when you have to do that on film to make a point, it's hard. It's rough. I don't think it's as easy as people think. Dave Bautista easyfilmgut share on social
