When you start out in the wrestling business, you make a lot of mistakes, tripping over your own feet and looking like a fool.

I've always felt from everyone I talk to that the fans feel like I'm tangible and they can talk to me and they know me.

Be a father first. Don't put a priority of being a friend with your wife first, or a friend with your kids first.

People are really nice in the world. The majority of every single person I meet is really nice. Some people get excited, and some people freak out when they accidentally run into me, but across the board most people are really nice, so I just like to treat people how they treat me.

The fans know what's happened to me over the past couple of years. I lost my family. I pretty much got devastated financially and the fans know that I've had some hard times - and that's the nature of loyal fans. They want to see the people that they love and believe in get back on their feet.

The only time I'm not Hulk Hogan is when I'm behind closed doors because as soon as I walk out the front door, and somebody says hello to me, I can't just say 'hello' like Terry. When they see me, they see the blond hair, the mustache, and the bald head, they instantly think Hulk Hogan.

Train. Say your prayers. Eat your vitamins.
