Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
Wrestling seemed like something I might be good at, so I stuck with it and gave it a shot. I ended up in a pretty good place. I was very fortunate.
I have passion for music just like I have passion for wrestling, just like I have passion for creating and acting.
The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
I can't jump high, so I jump from high places.
Ideas without action are worthless.
You can never get someplace physically until you've been there mentally.
Sunny didn't make a fool out of Phineas, God beat her to that.
Professional wrestling is in my blood. I may have second guessed it in the past, but I know it now.

I love the business of pro wrestling and it is something I know better than anything else I know about.
They try to get me to watch The Condemned and I said NO,NO, NO. It's a sad fact Stone Colduh can't act he should GO, GO, GO. He likes to hang out in baaaaaars, I gave his movie zero staaaaaars. They try to make me watch The Condemned and I said uh NO,NO,NO.

Never did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never. I wanted UCLA to come out and run our opponents so hard that they would be forced to call the first time-out just to catch their breath.

If I- if I competed in Bruno Sammartino's era, I'd have been champion for 20 years, too. No, I'd have been champion for 30 years. Because wrestling one night a month at Madison Square Garden is easy. You never see a Hulk Hogan wrestle TLC matches against a superstar like Ryback. Because he had it easy. I wrestle physically demanding matches on free television, week in and week out.
