Edge

“Every time I get an injury or suffer from a personal setback, that's exactly what I do: I persevere.”

“I saved everything, all my gear over the years: my trench coats and stuff that I have saved. It is all packed away nicely and neatly in vacuum-sealed bags and all that stuff.”

“Wrestling has to be more aggressive. It has to be bigger; it has to translate to the back of a football stadium. With acting, when that camera is up close, they can see your nose hairs twitch, and you have to pull back everything for it not to look clownish. There is that different mindset.”

“As glamorous as WWE may seem, you're probably eating at a Waffle House at 1 in the morning, and you're probably going to see the Ring of Honor guys there, too.”

“Sometimes styles don't translate. Rey Mysterio was a master of doing that. No matter where he went, Rey could make his style adapt. But not everyone is Rey Mysterio.”

“When I was on 'Haven,' my nickname was 'Sasquatch.'”

“One thing about wrestling, it keeps you humble.”

“A guy like Bray Wyatt, he could easily have played something in 'True Detective.'”

“With WWE, it's a massive machine, and you will air in 120 countries and have action figures and towels.”

“I have stupid neck. Look it up. You can look up 'stupid neck,' and it'll probably be a picture of my neck. Just do me a favor. Look it up, and you'll realize that the WWE will never clear me to compete again.”

“I can't physically put someone over, but I can feel very confident in my ability to tell a story through a promo.”

“I got put through a ladder by Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 23, had bruises from the ladder rungs across my back, but I was back the next night. I did the hardcore match with Mick Foley at WrestleMania 22, went through a flaming table, and had thumbtacks in my back, but I was out there the next night. That mentality does get ingrained in you.”

“For me, body art is all about expression; it's a lifestyle and can serve as a reminder that when my career is done, I'll have a story to tell on my body. And it will be my story of my life on my body.”

“Everyone realizes when it comes to fight scenes, that's gonna be my wheelhouse.”

“Once the second season of 'Haven' rolled around, I really started to attack this acting thing and finally admitted, 'OK, I'm an actor now. This is what I'm doing. This is my new career.'”

“I don't consider myself this amazing thespian.”

“'Vikings' has been so many different challenges, and some of that is, at times, you have to be big and imposing and violent and vicious, and then you have be pulled back and withdrawn and just more layers and more time to portray those layers, too.”

“Edge was part of my fascination with KISS and Cheap Trick and Queen, mixed with wrestling.”

“You always wonder what's going to happen in a Brock Lesnar match, but if you see Brock every week, it's not as special.”
