“I always go back to my days in NXT and look at my feud with Samoa Joe. That was one of the best periods of growth for me.”

“I have no intentions of getting in a UFC cage at all!”

“I came up in the U.K., which is a very catch-as-catch-can style, and then I somehow ended up in Japan and spent eight years there learning strong style. I got to spend some time in Mexico learning the lucha libre style, and the WWE is a hybrid style of everything mixed together.”

“I grew up watching wrestling my whole life, so to get the chance to step in the ring that I've watched on TV so many times is a dream come true.”

“People won't believe this, but I don't really like being the center of attention.”

“It's been a bit of a struggle getting used to life in the States, adapting to a new lifestyle.”

“You can kind of run drills and practice, rehab behind closed doors as much as you can, but there's nothing that simulates being in front of a live audience with live TV cameras.”

“When I first went to Japan, I was wrestling under my real name. The Japanese people have a great amount of difficulty with the letters f, r and l. So three out of the six letters in my first name they couldn't say. It was a bit of a mouthful for those guys.”

“I really believe in the power of positive thinking and the collective power of people's thoughts spawning something into becoming reality.”

“If I'm going to draw something, I don't know the day before what I'm going to draw. It's just very much an interpretation of how I'm feeling that day and what I think is the coolest thing in my brain at that very moment.”

“I'm a big fan of seeing smaller guys vs. big men.”

“Johnny Saint is someone who I studied as a kid.”

“I heard Samoans have hard heads, but it turns out what Enzo Amore told me about Samoa Joe's head was true. His head is S-A-W-F-T.”

“If you're going to learn about entrances from anyone, you might learn from the Undertaker.”

“I was six years old watching wrestling on TV. I was eight years old watching Ultimate Warrior run to the ring at WrestleMania. I was eighteen years old starting out on a journey in the U.K. wanting to be a professional wrestler.”

“I'm not one for reading comments or reading what people say online because, generally, there's a lot of negativity.”

“It's a very simple answer, how to get my abs so defined. I have a very healthy diet of a lot of laughter. If you laugh all the time, you're consistently flexing your abdominals all the time.”

“How I feel as a person and what I support as a person always remains the same, and that is continuing to support LGBT communities around the world.”

“Wrestling has a funny way of regenerating itself, and I'm sure, in the past, a lot of people have asked questions about 'Who's going to replace Sami Zayn in the locker room?' or 'Who's going to replace Kevin Owens in the locker room?' People always step in.”

“I started playing soccer when I was 6 years old and started lifting weights when I was 16, so it's not like I never exercised.”
