JOHN QUINLAN, ROMANCE COVER MODEL TALKS ABOUT
HIS MULTI-TALENTED CAREER IN
THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
John Quinlan, often called
the most tattooed male romance cover model in the world, was relaxing with his
family just before leaving to be part of an NPC Physique competition. Looking
back on his career and life, he gave us this rare insight into what makes him
the master champion he is in many areas.
Question: You have won many
awards and stacked up achievements. What do you feel has made you so
successful?
John: Never quitting and
never giving up. The road to success is long and hard testing your physical and
mental toughness. That phrase “Only the Strong Survive” holds true with me.
Question: When playing
baseball in college, did you ever dream then, your life would ever bring you
into the success you now have as a physique model, romance cover model, and in
the future, a movie actor?
John: No, I did not as these
things are different from where I was in my life at that time. But things
change overtime and I am glad they did as I have met so many amazing people
throughout the journey.
Question: Do you remember
emotions before your first photo shoot? How do you prepare for these even
today?
John: My first shoot was
over 2 decades ago and believe it or not I wasn't nervous as it happened so
fast I really didn't have time to be. It was directly after a workout at one of
the old World Gym's and this photographer asked me to step aside and stand next
to one of the workout machines. He snapped a few photos which ended up in a
local fitness catalog which I thought was pretty cool. He threw me $20 for the
thirty seconds of my time which I thought was pretty good back then.
Question:
Do you feel your tattoos are
symbolic of the complexity of yourself as a man, or do they each have a deep
meaning to you?
John: I have to say all of
my tattoos each have their own deep meaning. Some I keep to myself and there
are others that I open up about. My favorite tattoos are probably the Kanji
symbol for Family inside my left wrist and my 3 nautical stars on my forearms
all of which represent my 3 children.
Question: What are some of
your favorite things?
John: I have to say down
deep inside I am just a regular guy who enjoys simple things. Good food,
friends and family complete me and everything after that is a bonus.
Question: Who has most
inspired you in life?
John: My grandfather Bill
Hafner. I have often said if I could be half the man he was while he was on
this Earth I will have succeeded in the game of life. As a boy he gave me
confidence and the strength I needed to believe in myself that one day I would
be successful. Even at the very end of his life when I was well into my 30's he
would still speak so highly of me to everybody around him. It was so special to
me one day when I witnessed it. Never forget you grandpa, miss you & love
you.
Question: I know you are
currently involved in projects to help mankind. Is there a special cause you
feel strongly about?
John: They are special to
me. The Breast Cancer awareness funds are really amazing and for such a great
cause. While I was in New Orleans
Question: What are your
plans for the future?
John: I would like to
compete in a few more physique shows in the spring of 2015. I have a few big
projects on the table for the spring & early summer as well which I am very
optimistic about. In the meantime I am competing this Saturday in Boston
