CM Punk

“The only thing I've ever bought with the money I've made is my house.”

“I'm a huge fan of anything Ed Brubaker does. A lot of his 'Daredevil' stuff. A lot of his creator-owned stuff, too. His 'Criminal stuff,' I'm really into.”

“I've always had an extremely passionate fan base.”

“No one wants to get beat up in front of the world.”

“Inside and outside of the ring, what you see is what you get. I'm CM Punk. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm not trying to lie to the people or be fake. I'm not trying to be some crazy, outlandish character.”

“The do-it-yourself lifestyle is something that I've translated into wrestling.”

“Everything I say, it comes from the heart. It's all real.”

“I think the best fighters are the smart guys. They do what they are good at. They're smart about what they do.”

“I like winning or losing, failing or succeeding on my own merit.”

“I did not wake up one day and say, 'I wanna be famous.' I did not wake up and say, 'I wanna be a UFC fighter.' I woke up and said, 'I want to be successful at something I want to do. I want to fight.'”

“Haters are my favorite. I´ve built an empire with the bricks they´ve thrown at me. Keep on hating...”

“I think the good ones, the interviews and the promos people remember, those are improv.”

“I'm a polarizing person, so people get caught up in hoping I fail. And just like success, failure is a perspective.”

“I've kind of gotten mad over the years, reading different Punisher stories and seeing multiple Punisher movies. Nobody gets the character right.”

“Success is based on your perspective.”

“I don't mind getting punched in the face. It kind of wakes me up and gets me excited.”

“I wouldn't expect anybody to look for superawesome crisp technique out of me.”

“I have a Wii at home that I mainly play 'Punch-Out!' on.”

“I know people who are wealthy and they're miserable.”

“Please. Thank you. Learn it. Love it. Or be disappointed.”
