It’s so hard for me to sit back here in this studio, looking at a guy out here, hollering my name!—When last year I spent more money, on spilled liquor, in bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made! You’re talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, whoa! wheelin dealin’, limosuine riding, jet flying son of a gun and I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down!

I've always been a very good heel!

I was always a fan but me and Kevin Pattero, he was a friend of mine who trained for the Olympic games in 1972… he and I became very close friends and roommates and I kind of rode his coattails into the business.

If you're a man, you don't cry about it, you take life, the ups and downs; if you're a real man you never go down, you just stay up!

To be the World Champion in 1981 was a huge honour.

I think my fondest memories would be with Sting, and Steamboat, Dusty and er… I made a lot of money wrestling Wahoo McDaniel and Jack Mulligan too. It’d be hard to pinpoint one.

We only work… the most I ever work is three days a week. Very rare that I will work four. If I’'m involved in a scenario where they need me to be in it, I don'’t mind. They always work around my children’s schedule, their sports, and stuff like that. That’s been very important to me.
