During the interview, Morrison revealed the best piece of advice that he ever received from Vince McMahon, who was his boss for almost 9 years.
Here is what he had to say:
“The one thing that I really took away was something Vince McMahon said to me once that really stuck with me was, “Wrestling,” and in a broader sense television, “is all about emotions. That’s all it is. The whole point of entertainment and TV is to feel something.” It can be happy, sad, empathizing with someone you relate to, feeling triumphant when you watch someone you relate to overcome, wanting to be scared. That really simple connection I feel is something that I think is frequently overlooked”
Morrison continued, saying that he still uses the advice to this day:
“When I get stuck in an acting role or writing or trying to decide if I should do something or not in any form of entertainment I usually go back to that simple thing that Vince told me that day and decide based on that. Will it support the story? Will it create an emotional response?”
