Bill Goldberg

“As a father and an ex-wrestler, it's a dream come true. To be able to come back and be included in 'WWE 2K17,' it's a huge honor.”

“There's no question, I guarantee you, that you will see more NFL players getting into wrestling. They have the personality for it.”

“You can say I give you this information as a dispassionate observer.”

“Most of the wrestling happens in the South, so I had to ask myself how I was going to be received as a Jewish boy named Goldberg. Then again, I have never, nor would I ever, hide my Jewish identity.”

“If a guy is hurt, you take care of him. The Falcons didn't do that.”

“The biggest thing about being a wrestler and being Goldberg gave me, was the ability to be a superhero for kids. I want the ability to be that guy again.”

“I'm more of a 'competitor'; I like to go in the ring and let people judge the competition.”

“Terrorism, as a whole, is - I don't want to say 'taboo,' but it is a very emotional subject.”

“The story behind 'Check Point' is what drew me in. The script had a couple of twists that I really did not see coming... To get out there and raise people's awareness, I think there's a big responsibility in that.”

“Nine times out of ten, people consider a nice little Jewish boy the kid who grows up and sits behind a desk preparing your taxes. I've certainly broken that stereotype in many ways.”

“As a professional wrestler, it's not my position to be the booker, to formulate a match, unless you're asked to do that.”

“My experience with video games is a far cry from 'WWE 2K17.' Did I ever aspire to be that character? Man, I just wanted to be a hero to kids. Whether it's a character in a video game, a movie or a TV series, it's an accolade that I'm greatly appreciative of.”

“Everything emanates from the basics, from your base. If you don't have a strong base, I'm sorry, but you are always going to be coming back to it, trying to reattain.”

“The stupidest question I get is 'Is Goldberg your real name?' I tell people, 'No, my real name is Killer, but I wanted a much more menacing name, so I picked Goldberg.'”

“Everybody who knows anything about me knows all I ever wanted to do is play pro football. But I didn't have the talent, and I got hurt a lot. I'd do anything to be out on the field.”

“Oh, I love Rock to death, man. He doesn't inspire me as an actor but, I mean, come on.”

“No, I don't have a feminine side. I've never been in touch with it. And the day I get in touch with my feminine side is the day I retire.”

“You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.”

“Any time you're in front of a camera and have them yell 'Cut, re-shoot the scene,' are you kidding me? That's a huge advantage.”

“I grew up in the Midwest, so we really didn't have much hockey going on.”
