“I will say this about the Miz: Even though I don't like his wrestling style, he is a very hard worker. I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I want him to do well.”

“With ladder matches, you can't expect anything other than craziness.”

“If it weren't for the Internet, WWE probably wouldn't even know my name. If I had to rely on 'Pro Wrestling Illustrated' to get my name out there, it would have been a much more difficult road.”

“The thing that I have to stay away from is sweets. I have a horrible sweet tooth. It's just the worst.”

“I always feel like I wasn't the best trainer, because I'm really good at teaching people stuff, but I'm not good if people aren't super psyched - if they're not like me.”

“I'm pretty much friendly and compassionate to everybody. But not to people in the ring.”

“As you write about your life, there's a lot of things that you think about that you regret. It's interesting, because one of the things I regret the most is spending so much time focused on wrestling as opposed to focusing on my family.”

“Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was one of the worst boxing matches I've ever seen, but millions of people watched it because of the personalities involved.”

“I would read a lot about how to be a dad. I had never changed a diaper before we had Birdie.”

“To me, the funnest part of wrestling is evolving. If you stay the same all the time, you're eventually going to be left behind.”

“I love sweets. Like, every week of my life, I've had a cheat day.”

“One of the autobiographies I really liked was Bob Dylan's. It was interesting because he didn't do it in a linear fashion.”

“Wrestling is more of a creative outlet, and especially for somebody like me, I view it as my creative outlet. Not all WWE superstars and not all wrestlers view it that way, but that's how I view it, and that's one of the ways my mind works creatively.”

“Being a bad guy is fun for me.”

“I love wrestling, and I love the entertainment aspect of wrestling, but the rest of my life, I just want to be able to live and enjoy my life. I don't want to be living it essentially for other people's entertainment.”

“I don't want to live my life to entertain other people. I have other things that I'd like to do.”

“When I was in high school, I started getting into Japanese wrestling. For me to watch those matches, I had to order VHS tapes through catalogues, and these tapes were, like, $20 each.”

“I don't do really well in cities, which is crazy given that we're flying in and out of these major cities every week.”

“I have to look at my career as 'it was what it was,' but I do wish there was more of it.”

“I get this anxiety in cities and places like that. When you grow up in kind of a small town and when you grow up around a lot of green and trees and nature and that sort of thing, sometimes I think it's a little mentally disconcerting to be around this concrete.”
