You can see some highlights below, per Fightful:

On if he could see Cena when working with him: “No, I don’t know what the man looks like. You’re acting and there is no one there. It’s like doing a mocap or CG thing. Just a stick with a tennis ball [laughs].”

On working with Cena: “John Cena is like if the American flag was a person. He is the greatest guy. When you’ve been in the business a long time, you have friends, some who are famous and some who are really famous. I’ve never been around someone more famous than John Cena. Every kid runs up to him and he makes time for every person. So generous. So tickled by his success. He’s just a doer. When they call cut, I’m like, ‘I’m gonna go get a snack. What you guys talking about? Let me show you this game on my phone.’ He’s sitting there eating a Quest bar and learning Mandarin. That’s discipline. He’s the man.”
