What shocked me, and what I wasn’t prepared for, was just how brutal and how unethical some people can be in the NFL. I mean, there were some great people, but there were some real snakes, too. I was like, ‘Holy cow!’ But it made me a better person, and it got me ready for other things.

The NFL has gone a long way to Disney-fy its image, but it’s not Disney. It’s the MMA. It’s a violent, brutal human war, with rules. The same guy who says, ‘I’m going to rob everybody,’ is the same guy who would be successful in the NFL.

I actually ran into Justin Bieber when nobody knew him at the Kids’ Choice Awards. He came up to me like, ‘Mr. Crews, how you doing? I’m produced by Usher and I just wanted to introduce myself.

Terry Crews
I am a fan of all genres. My big thing is to serve the purpose of the script and what the director wants. If it’s a comedy, I want to be funny; if it’s action, I want to bring the action.

I enjoy sports movies that don’t sugarcoat. One thing that irritates me about sports movies is that they’re like, ‘The magic of the ball,’ and ‘The magic of the stadium.’ It ain’t that magical. When you get hit coming across the middle at 25 miles per hour, the magic’s over.

I have no one in my past who is judging me and saying, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t do that.’ I’ll do it all.
Terry Crews

Terry Crews
When you go back to ‘Friends,’ and you look at that as New York, there’s no black people. That’s not real. You’re in New York City, and there’s no black people at all. That’s a little funny.
