3. UPSOUND (English) Dwayne Johnson, actor: "I didn't come in the traditional way. I didn't go get my head shots done in black and white, although I would have used color because my skin is kind of good looking. I've got to exfoliate so I might have chosen the color head shots. But I didn't come in that way. I came in a different route. I made my teeth, cut my teeth, made my bones in the wild and crazy world of professional wrestling in the WWE." (Crowd chants 'Rocky!') Thank you."

6. UPSOUND (English) Dwayne Johnson, actor: "So the first one would be my biggest fan. You know who I'm talking about. Yes, she is literally my biggest fan. When we met President Obama and his beautiful wife Michelle, she takes out the photo album, 'Would you like to see my son? This is him as a baby!' My mom, Ata Johnson, the strongest woman I know. Mom, I love you. Love you. Yes! That's Mama Rock!"

8. UPSOUND (English) Dwayne Johnson, actor: "Success doesn't happen without a great partner, without a great wife, without a great mother to your children and damn it! Hold on. Yeah! I had to save this one for last, ironically, because she is number one. And that is, you know, this woman is the most loving, caring, inspiring to me and everyone she meets – woman. And she is the mother of our beautiful, the mother of our beautiful little daughter Jazzy, who is here. And we also just announced this past Monday that we're having baby number two! Ladies and gentlemen, my much better and better looking half, Lauren Hashian. I love you."

11. UPSOUND (English) Dwayne Johnson, actor: "All right. Well this is what it all means, right? So the hard work, you put in the work with your own two hands, right? We live every day in gratitude. That's daddy's microphone, yeah. But it all comes down to this. It all comes down to your family. This is what it all comes down to. It all comes down to your family and working hard to love and protect and do everything that you can to make your family and the ones you love, their lives better. So with that guys, I thank you. I love you. I love you. Hey, hey, what does mommy and daddy say?"
UPSOUND (English) Jasmine Johnson, Dwayne Johnson's daughter: "I you!"
Dwayne Johnson: "I love you! That's what she's saying, yes. So when I was 15-years-old and I talked about it earlier, I was evicted, we were evicted out of our one-bedroom apartment in Honolulu, Hawaii. We were forced to leave the island and here we are today. I heard a quote when I was 15 and I thought if I'm ever in a position one day, I'd love to be able to live this quote. And years later I'm celebrating with all of you around the world now who's watching this, my family and my friends, who I also love, my three beautiful girls, one on the way. And the quote is this, and I figured this is the perfect time to deliver this quote to you guys because it means so much to me in here in my mana, in my spirit, which is it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice."
