“I feel like a lot of fans would like to see me with the heavyweight championship.”
“I'm bigger now than when I was eating meat. My lifts in the gym are better. I'm in better shape.”
“Sometimes, things just fall into your lap, and that's pretty incredible.”
“What we do is entertainment. We entertain people. Sometimes we inspire people, but sometimes we are just a way to fill their time.”
“I loved playing football, but I hated the games because it's a lot of pressure. I just loved putting on the pads and hitting my friends.”
“I'm having a really hard time with this retirement thing and not having wrestling.”
“I loved wrestling in Philly. It was such an exciting time in my life. That really helped me grow and think differently. It was also just a lot of fun.”
“I've always respected and appreciated Punk, but we never really hung out. We came from the same route, but we didn't necessarily hang out in the same circles. I've always had a great appreciation and respect for his hard work.”
“My No. 1 dream match is Brock Lesnar. And I want that to be a WrestleMania match. I don't know if the WWE will ever let that happen, because they might be afraid he might legitimately hurt me pretty bad.”
“With wrestling, you can't describe how that connection with an audience happens. I can't teach anybody how that happens. The bad things that have happened to me in WWE have made that connection stronger.”
“With my history of concussions, the WWE wants to protect me, so I've had to take a lot of neurological testing.”
“I went from being a guy who was sparingly being used on television to being the World Heavyweight Champion and the focus of a lot of the storylines on Smackdown.”
“Me, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Lyoto Machida, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, all shared a two-bedroom apartment together.”
“If you want to grow a beard like mine, the only thing I can tell you is that you have to have patience. You just have to let it grow.”
“I didn't really grow up playing video games. I had an original Nintendo after the original Nintendo was cool.”
“I would like to do something to help people and help the world.”
“My mind thinks in wrestling. As I'm thinking of things and my mind is being creative, it constantly keeps going back to wrestling. That's my inspiration, and to not be able to express that puts me in a spot where I almost don't know what to do with myself.”
“I wasn't a great athlete.”
“I feel like I'm not the greatest general manager in the history of general managers, but I do OK, and I'm learning as I go. I try to just do my best with it.”
“That is one of the coolest things about WWE and wrestling in general. The fans have this very unique voice and this very unique power, and in no other sport and no other form of entertainment can the fans make their voices heard and it effect change.”
