I vowed I wouldn't ever let anyone destroy me again. I was going to work at it every day, so hard that I would be the toughest guy in the world. By the end of practice, I wanted to be physically tired, to know that I'd been through a workout. If I wasn't tired, I must have cheated somehow, so I stayed a little longer.

I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win.

If you're afraid to fail, you'll never succeed.

My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.

My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.
