You gotta surround yourself with positive people, people who care.

My mom moved up north to make more money to support the family, and I was left with my dad and I was just bounced around from one family to another.

More than anything, for me, is how people really still do care about you.

Wrestling is realer than reality TV.

I hate reality TV, because it's so bullshit.

I want people to retake ownership of their lives. I don't want people with perfect bodies. I want people who are striving to get more fit and feel great. That's what America needs. A lot of American's have lost hope, and I am trying to inspire it back into people.

I don't really remember much before was eight, but I do remember that my dad brought me to drop me off at my grandmother's house, and he was a very emotional guy, but that was the first time I really saw him cry, cos I knew it killed him to have to give me up, but he knew I needed some family structure. That was the last time I'd see him or talk to him when he was sober for the next 10 years.
