“Everyone is connected to somebody with some type of addiction. It's so ramped now. Everyone has an uncle, a cousin, somebody who has addiction. We all have addiction.”
“If you say 'I can't,' you'd better add on 'yet.' Once you start to change that inner dialogue, things that would seem completely impossible become possible.”
“I teach people how to breathe; I teach them how to use dynamic resistance, which is what gets your heart rate jacked up.”
“If you teach someone your craft, while you're teaching them, you're going to learn because you're going to get better at teaching, which is going to make you better at whatever you're doing.”
“When I blew my back out at age 42, I said, 'Okay, I've got to be more concerned about food and health.'”
“I would have always liked to have worked with Randy Orton because of the Diamond Cutter and the RKO.”
“I wrote a book called 'Yoga for Regular Guys.' We made the title of the book funny, but it was actually super serious. We were trying to get regular guys to do yoga. It just kept developing from there, and the concept eventually turned into DDP YOGA. I am so passionate about it.”
“The run that I had - which really was, like, four months in the WWE - it wasn't great. But my opening day was great. My opening day was humongous. And then WrestleMania was pretty much my closing card. I did one 'Raw' after that, but that WrestleMania 18 match that I had with Christian, that was a hell of a match.”
“Everybody has some kind of addiction. It's about how you get around that addiction. First, you have to break the habit like anything. You have to define the hurdle or the objective.”
“I always believed I would be in the Hall of Fame when my career came to an end. I just didn't know when.”
“Once I got done with my career, I knew in my soul that I don't have any negative thoughts about myself.”
“I started wrestling when I was 35, but my career didn't take off until I was 40.”
“In our personal and professional lives, we are constantly hit with one adversity after the other, most of which we have no control over. But the four things we have total control over is how we react, how we adapt, how we breathe, and how we take action.”
“I didn't develop DDP YOGA for yogis. DDP YOGA is its own animal; if yoga was a bicycle, DDP YOGA would be a Harley.”
“I don't want to spoil this for anybody but wrestling, sports entertainment, is 'pre-determined.'”
“Everybody on top has a ton of haters.”
“Relationships are everything; a lot of people say it's who you know and who knows you. I believe it's all about who is willing to step up and say they know you. Who's willing to put their name on the line for you.”
“Rock has the ability to make you feel like you're the only person in the room.”
“I don't need to prove anything in that ring anymore. I've done all that.”
“How could I not be the underdog, starting at 35 and a half and going from a manager and a fourth-string color commentator to being a wrestler?”
