Kofi Kingston

“You literally can't do any more than your best so that was always my attitude and that is still my attitude, which is to go out there and give it my best every single night.”

“It's really all about getting the people to believe in you and the harder you work, the better you become.”

“I want to be the true champion of the people, and I take a lot of pride in having that role.”

“I always want to go up against the best competition, I want to have as many championship matches as possible.”

“Even before I became a WWE Superstar, I was told I was never going to make it because I wasn't big enough. You know what I mean? I wasn't strong enough, I wasn't 6 foot 8.”

“I think at WrestleMania you definitely want a singles match and not have to share the spotlight with other guys.”

“A lot of people always say, 'Oh, people down there in NXT' or 'Down there' as if it's... yeah, it's like a farming system for WWE, but they've done such a great job over the years making their own brand.”

“We always talk about how important representation is. It's so important to see someone that looks like you - whether you're African American, Asian, Indian or whatever your background is - doing incredible things. It's just motivation to go out there and do incredible things yourself.”

“All I know is that every moment we've had as The New Day has been amazing. Just awesome.”

“When I come to a baseball game, I appreciate the athleticism of these top-tier athletes. When they come to our shows, it's the same thing.”

“It's awesome, I tell everyone that the U.K. is one of my favourite places to go.”

“Jamaica actually had a pretty big influence on my life.”

“One of the matches that is pretty dear to my heart is when I took on Chris Jericho at Night of Champions in 2008.”

“When I was training before I was even signed, I was listening to the Damian Marley CD 'Welcome to Jamrock,' and I got the idea one day in promo class to cut a promo in a Jamaican accent and everybody in the class went wild. That was the character I played from that point on and it kind of stuck until it didn't.”

“It took me 11 years to get a shot at the WWE championship; not just to win it, but just to get a shot, but luckily I was able to capitalize on that and become WWE champion, but if I had quit I wouldn't have been in that position.”

“Even coming from Ghana to the United States, my mom and dad did so much to provide a better life for their kids. It was such a huge sacrifice; leaving your entire family - and we have a huge family - leaving them to come to America and have a better life for their kids.”

“I think my goal has always been to remain entertaining. Above all else, remain entertaining.”

“It's always important for people to be able to watch WWE, especially because it's a global product, it's important for people all over the world to be able to look at the screen and see somebody who looks like them doing great things. And in turn, that inspires them to do great things.”

“You have to have the ability to adapt. That's probably the single most important quality you need to have as a WWE Superstar.”

“I've had a lot of starts and stops as far as my career is concerned, but I think what I am able to do is to put things into perspective.”
