I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change.

I did think for many, many years that because of my ability I could beat the system. And I was wrong.

It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.

It's always been the case that you have the really rich, and the really poor. But hey, look, all the great empires have their periods where they rule the world, and then they crumble.

The two sports are as different as Ping-Pong and rugby. In boxing, you don’t know what’s going to happen. In wrestling, it’s already prearranged. But the thing I didn’t know about wrestling is that you really get hurt. Because, you know, you’re wrestling in front of a live audience, and you end up doing things like jumps or slams, and 40 percent of the time you don’t land right.

I'm an old broken down piece of meat and I deserve to be all alone . . .

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.
