Goldust

“It took me a long time to get my life screwed up, and it's going to take a long time to get it back.”

“I've wrestled just about everybody there is to wrestle, done just about every character reincarnation that I can come up with.”

“You have Superstars, and then you have mega Superstars. Brock Lesnar is a mega Superstar.”

“If I'm studying in NXT and trying to make it to the main roster, I would be watching Randy Orton.”

“The wrestling community loves the Rhodes Family - not only loves them, but we know what we're doing.”

“I try not to forecast the future and look down the road as far as my wrestling, because it's there. All I have to do is walk in a ring and light up the crowd.”

“My favorite opponent is probably Randy Orton.”

“I've kept evolving the character. At first, you hated Goldust with a passion, then you laughed with him.”

“As far as children out there that hate their moms and dads, just get over it, because you get one dad and one mom. You know, suck it up. Learn something.”

“I go to the gym twice a day. I take no days off. I do three days of DDP Yoga, and I do Pilates twice a week. Every day, I've got some kind of program.”

“I'm not going to retire until I win the NWA World Heavyweight Title, the same belt my dad had. I'm going to win that title before I hang it up.”

“I came out of my mother's womb wanting to be a professional wrestler. But then notoriety and stardom happened, and I started getting cocky.”

“At the beginning of me getting out of rehab and thinking about going back to work, I was scared because I didn't know if I could do this clean and sober.”

“People have come up and told me they were WCW fans from the early '90s, or they were watching my work in FCW when I first started in the late '80s, and they'll spit out a match of mine that they still remember. I stand there in awe, shocked that someone still remembers.”

“I chose to go down a very dark place, and I can't change that, but those moments have served as an education for me.”

“Here are the five guys I learned the business from: Barry Windham, Ricky Steamboat, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko, and Bobby Eaton. Those guys taught me how to do everything in the ring. I learned so much from each of them.”

“You can have a bad opponent out there and still get the job done. You just have to work around certain things.”

“Eventually, and thanks to my dad, I started working for Total Nonstop Action for $1,000 a show. He was the boss, right under Dixie Carter. TNA wasn't doing too well at that point, but I had a job making okay money.”

“My dad is to professional wrestling what Babe Ruth was to baseball - he's an icon. Working with him and having him around as I try to get this new character over with the fans has been a major help.”

“There would be no Goldust without the fans. They've made my career.”
