AOL: Do you have a favorite charity?
Rock: The Make-A-Wish Foundation. These children are some of
the most courageous and beautiful individuals I have ever had the
honor of knowing.
AOL: Any plans for New Year's Eve?
Rock: Again, because I my life is so hectic, I look forward to
eating a great steak dinner at Morton's with my family and then
waiting for the New Year in a quiet way at home with my wife. My
future plans include continuing to entertain "the millions
and millions." In addition The Rock smells some opportunities
within the movie business. But above all I plan to continue to
grow and develop not only as a sports entertainer but as an
all-around entertainer. On a personal note I look forward to
starting a family and moving into my new home.
AOL: Has interactive media changed your life?
Rock: Interactive media is a tremendous asset to me and the
sports entertainment industry. It's extremely helpful that I can
conduct numerous interviews on-line, regardless of my location and
still reach out to a large audience. Web pages like TheRock.com
(the most electrifying web pages out there) allow our audience to
have greater access to my character, our schedule, merchandise, my
bio, past photos and promos. Plus it gives them the ability to
interact with me by leaving messages and thoughts. My wife and I
both use AOL extensively and are continuously pulling valuable
research and information from the Internet. And as far as shopping
online, even the Rock doesn't mind spending a little less on his
$500 dollar shirts.
