The fight world is definitely a masculine thing, but I think it's pretty masculine if someone can avoid a fight also.

The key thing is confidence, and you get that from the actions that you take. It can be anything from getting chicks, being in a fight, having success at work, having a good family. A lot of that stuff comes from having confidence, so that's one of the biggest things.

I just happen to love fighting and happen to be great at it. And I let my lifestyle carry over into my chosen profession.

I was raised in a bit of a hippie environment. I was lying around naked until I was two, having a good time. I think the California mentality is laid back and I definitely embody that.

When I started wrestling in the eighth grade, I just fell in love with it, and started shifting my focus more to that. I considered playing in college, but it made more sense for me to wrestle, because I weigh about a buck fifty.

I sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.

I avoid long layoffs and I try to stay in shape at all times.
