Goldust

“You talk to the boss about your ideas and things like that, and all he can say is yes or no. I mean, you don't open your mouth, you don't give him your ideas, you're not really trying.”

“Chicago, to me, is the best wrestling crowd on the planet. They are the best. They are loud, they are ruthless, and they will tear you down if you let them.”

“Goldust is a singular character. I don't need to be put with anybody.”

“I want to be World Heavyweight Champion, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.”

“Tell a story. You don't have to do a thousand things in two minutes when you can do one just as good and still tell that story with your face or how you land or your reaction. That's a lost art. Storytelling is a big part of our industry, and if given time, you can do it properly.”

“The backstage stuff is not for everybody. I'm very hands on; I like to train and teach young guys now because there's so many of them. There are certain ways to do things, to get crowd reactions and sell your emotions and sell stories.”

“If you want to shake a hand, if you want a story, I'll be more than happy to sit down with you and talk with you. It's what I love to do.”

“I am Dusty's son, but I learned the hard way I was never going to be 'The American Dream.' That was difficult for me, and I made some molehills into mountains.”

“My sister, Kristin Ditto, was a part of the Cowboys organization from 1998 to 2000 as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.”

“I've had a WrestleMania moment.”

“I love the wrestling business. The wrestling business will never die. It will be around forever.”

“Everyone makes mistakes along the way, but we learn from our mistakes.”

“I've done everything that there is to do in this business.”

“The business changes, and we don't all have to like the change, but it's, ultimately, the business is changed. But, that being said, I don't like it, and I'll tell you why. Because without the new school that we have right now, or without old school, there would be none of this new school, so it started somewhere, right?”

“The past is history. I can't change any of that.”

“Before Dad passed, we talked so much about the Goldust character, what it grew into, and how much he was proud of it.”

“You might be sitting at NXT for six years. But, if you're sitting there at NXT for six years, and they haven't called you to the main roster, then you're not doing something right. That's just my opinion.”

“There are times when I wish I would have gotten a degree, but the past is history, and tomorrow's a mystery.”

“It's no easy job being a World Heavyweight Champion; these guys like Cena, Sheamus, these guys are modeled around that and are champs for a reason.”

“I've had stuff pulled for me on big shows and stuff like that. You can get frustrated all you want, but the show must go on, and there are reasons for it.”
