I'm asked all the time who the next big thing is in NXT and I always say I'm not going to say because it puts too much pressure on them.
That was cool, getting to work with Ryan Gosling. I knew he was going to be a huge star after I saw him in that Showtime thing that he did when he was really young [The Believer]. I think the most fun thing about that was I'd never seen somebody that had so many questions about the specifics of everything: where you ate, how much you ate, how much you drank. He's very special.
Dakota Fanning is my favorite actress.
You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.

Third-string quarterbacks, fourth-string quarterbacks - they get their opportunities, and they shine.
I would watch any film which has Ranbir Kapoor.
I'll be your number one with a bullet.
Nic Hoult is just such a brilliant actor.
The other actresses, who are called my contemporaries, they started with a megastar. They were superstars overnight and are the same even today.
Oh! not for the great departed, Who formed our country's laws, And not for the bravest-hearted, Who died in freedom's cause, And not for some living hero To whom all bend the knee, My muse would raise her song of praise - But for the man to be.

As for what attracts me to 'Rising Star,' it's undoubtedly the live format.
You're gonna see me on your TV. You're gonna see me everywhere. I'm gonna be a common household name. Smokepurpp, Lil Purpp. Remember the name.
Someone told me once that blues is like whiskey. They keep whiskey in the barrel for so many years, and then they talk about how well it's aged. But I don't think that goes for him.

Alzarri Joseph is someone who I look at and say 'this guys has got potential, he's a wicket-taker.' He is someone who I'd like to see do well.
