Following are highlights from John Cena's chat with Comcast Cable to promote WrestleMania 25.

-- On whether he would turn heel: "That's not up to me, that's certainly up to the fans. I've always just been myself. I've formed a strong connection with a lot of folks, but if they ever get sick of me, it'll be them that make it happen "

-- On working with "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson on a movie: "I would love to. As much as I would like to have a match with him, I think both of our presence on screen would be pretty cool. I don't know what movie has ever seen that much kick-ass. Maybe a remake of "Predator," or something. But I'd love to."

-- On Triple H: "I think he's one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time and on top of that, he's a consumate professional. I think he's going to beat Randy Orton, and he's certainly one of the guys that's been instrumental in my success. He's been fantastic for WWE."

-- Asked which wrestler has helped him the most in the business: "Arn Anderson and from the current roster, Shawn Michaels."

-- On whether he agrees with WWE going PG: "I certainly do. I think it's very, very important in this day and age, and in a time where role models are falling like a house of cards, I really enjoy the position that I'm in and there is nothing more flattering than having a parent come up and say, 'You are my son's role model. Keep doing what you're doing.'"

-- On being the corporate face of WWE related to dropping the rapping gimmick and Five Questions WWE.com segment: "It's a different time now. I had a lot of fun with the program, but I certainly am more aware of my standing in the WWE now, and it's much more important to me to send a positive message to everybody."

-- On being the corporate face of WWE related to changing the FU finisher to the Attitude Adjuster: "It's more appropriate. I would like to think that the maneuver adjusts attitudes, rather than curses at people. I'm certainly not one to endorse profanity."

-- On the Money in the Bank match: "That's certainly a match that everyone has their eyes on, and over the years it's been quite an honor to be in that group. ... I certainly would love an opportunity."

-- On wrestling his first WWE match in 2002 (against Kurt Angle): "Nervous. Very nervous. I don't remember much from it, it was just a very, very fast day. I'd prepared for it all my life and when it actually happened, I was just very, very nervous."
