Around here, no one deserves anything. You have to earn it.

I think really one of the hardest things for me always was just the walk to the ring.

If you would have met me when I first started wrestling - or even five, six, seven, eight years into wrestling - you wouldn't be like "This person is a dynamic personality on the screen." That would have never happened. That's something that's evolved. You just keep putting yourself out there and you keep working at that sort of thing and you can get better at it.

I just try to put as much logic into what I'm doing as possible and try to have fun with it.

I still think most of my success came from the audience's reaction to me. It's weird when that happens but a lot of it came from what I did inside the ring.

People say a lot of things, like "You can't teach personality" or "You can't teach charisma," and I find that it's not true.

I don't want anything to take away from wrestling.
