I haven't worn jewelry since one of the front teeth I had made into an earring became no longer necessary because I lost the ear.
The first few songs of the album 'Little Earthquakes' were unlike anything I'd ever heard.
Sooner or later, The Rock's going to get tired of that empty space on his mantle where an Oscar should be, and that's when I'll get the phone call for the buddy movie that finally makes his career.
Mother Nature and Father Time have not been happy with me.
I really enjoy Sarah Silverman's fearlessness.
I'd like to see Dolph Ziggler get involved in a really intense, personal feud that will bring out another side of his personality. Because the personality is there, and the wrestling is there, so I'd like someone to come along and bring out his ugly side.
As a halfway decent college DJ, I had been exposed to some great progressive stuff and always took pride in unearthing musical gems.
I really enjoy watching the younger talent like The Shield rise up on the card and make a huge impact.
I remember being really hurt by a relative of a good friend of mine when I mentioned that someone was a great wrestler - she said, 'What do you mean? How can you be great at wrestling?' I stopped them and said, 'Do you think that what I do takes no talent whatsoever?' She realized how hurtful those words were.
I developed an interest in the history of the Negro leagues to the point where I visited the museum in Kansas City, Mo., twice and made the museum an integral part of my unheralded 2005 coming-of-age baseball novel, 'Scooter.'
I find that I get most of the same things I loved about performing in the ring when I do my live shows around the world.
When Dee Snider and I get together for breakfast, it's just two Long Island guys hanging out.
My mother wanted me to be a writer, which I have ended up taking a long road round to.
My greatest personal Survivor Series moment was facing The Rock in 1998 and having Mr. McMahon turn on me. That set into motion one of the best series of matches I've ever had and some of the most important with The Rock. Not only did we have great matches, but then we became teamed up following the rivalry, so that was big.
I tell people the most important move they can make is not in the ring. It's taking the time to get to know Mr. McMahon.
Back in 2004, Vince McMahon basically told me to consider WWE to be my playground, and that I could come and play any time I wanted to.
In a sense, I think the WWE Universe has become one of the greatest characters of the modern era.
There are guys who thrive completely on the action in the ring and see the promotion as a necessary evil, whereas I think it's so much easier to tell people what a tough guy you are, as opposed to backing it up.
The idea of standing five feet away from Norah Jones and listening to her sing Neil Young's 'Down By The River' was just phenomenal. I compare that to what my kids know of at a concert, which is sitting in a stadium and watching a huge screen.
I think doing The Improv is a little more ominous than doing a college campus because it was so different than anything I'd done.
