I don't think marriage is in the cards for me. I think it's an archaic institution.
Any praise goes to my coaches and my teammates. I have the easy part of waking up and going to the gym. They're the ones that have to break my bad habits and teach me new things. They're literally my everything. In my personal life, it's my wife, and in my professional life, it's my coaches and my teammates.
I was rich before I had any money. Being rich has nothing to do with anything monetary.
I think what's captivating about me on the microphone is my honesty.
When someone else is making money off of you and using your body, you need to step off the carousel.
Obviously, I carved out a pretty successful path and career for myself. But I'm kind of fascinated with, for lack of a better term, Renaissance men. And women. People who do a lot of different things.
There are always going to be detractors who will say I don't look like I'll be able to hang with Brock Lesnar. But Brock's a freak of nature, and I don't know anybody who looks like they can 'hang' with Brock Lesnar. But anyone can be choked out in seven seconds.
What I do on international flights is watch crappy, sappy love movies... Sometimes they're so bad, it's laughable. It kills time.
I wouldn't expect anybody to look for superawesome crisp technique out of me.
I'm a huge fan of anything Ed Brubaker does. A lot of his 'Daredevil' stuff. A lot of his creator-owned stuff, too. His 'Criminal stuff,' I'm really into.
I'm always amazed that people are shocked when their despicable action causes an equally despicable reaction.
The do-it-yourself lifestyle is something that I've translated into wrestling.
In pro wrestling, it's fake. People always get offended by that word. 'No, we like to say it's pre-determined.' For whatever reason, people get angry at 'fake'; 'pre-determined' eases the blow? It's fake. At the end of the day, it doesn't really mean anything.
Pro wrestling has always been ingrained into American culture. It was one of the first things that was ever on television, so everybody watched it. Countless people tell me, 'I got into wrestling because my grandfather watched it.' It was always there.
I've done things, sometimes foolishly misguided, because I wanted to give back to the fans.
I'm going to be that gnarly guy that gets in somebody's face and makes it ugly. I'm a bit of a grinder.
I'm a hopeless romantic.
Punk rock and straight edge will always be married together. As far as me integrating that with wrestling, I learned a lot from punk rock.
Being out there in a high-pressure situation with a live audience and a live TV camera on you, it brings something out.
My life used to be governed by that. I would know what day it was because I would be at 'Monday Night Raw' or 'SmackDown' on Tuesday.
