“I do things my way. I don't do things to make people happy or appease them.”
“Shawn Spears, he is a scumbag. He decided, after years of friendship with one of the greatest men to ever live Cody Rhodes, to waffle him with a chair. No one should be laying a finger on that man, he is a saint.”
“What I care about is making sure that when the people watching me put their head to their pillow, I'm the last thing they think about. Not because I hit the coolest moves, not because I'm putting my body on the line for their entertainment, but because I'm captivating.”
“So, I couldn't care less Joe Manganiello's opinion on anything I have to say on Twitter.”
“There were people that grabbed you just by talking, and that's what I loved about professional wrestling when I started out. That's why I'm already so good. That's why people literally hang on the edge of their seats when I have a mic because they want to know what I'm going to say.”
“I do not need anybody telling me how to do my thing. I do not care how great they are, if it is somebody I respect, I will listen.”
“I honestly keep to myself often and I keep my circle small.”
“I was at House Of Hardcore for Tommy Dreamer. Good guy, great guy, great eye for talent - that's why he booked me.”
“Jon Moxley - great performer. I'm sure he's a nice guy. But at the end of the day, I think people are sick and tired of him, you know, being the captain of the ship.”
“What I care about is making money. What I care about is making waves. What I care about is going down as one of, if not, the greatest professional wrestlers to have ever lived.”
“Personally, I would miss a wedding. I would miss childbirth. I would miss a bar mitzvah just to see me talk at all.”
“Once I saw Roddy Piper I knew exactly what I was going to be doing when I grew up.”
“Right now, at the age of 22, I'm making a living off of this and I'm building, not only just my brand, but I'm also building myself bell-to-bell. I'm building myself when that red light's on and I want to keep doing it.”
“All that matters is the fact that I'm the first person people are thinking of when they wake up and I'm the last person people are thinking of when they go to bed.”
“I'm a good person and that's what I am at the end of the day.”
“I'm as old-school as it gets in this modern era. I'm the last of a dying breed.”
“When I was growing up, I played football, I loved football.”
“For those of you who aren't aware I am Jewish, the name might have given it away, and there were no other Jewish kids on my football team, so it was an adjustment for me because the kids didn't exactly love the fact that there was a Jewish kid taking their spot.”
“I wanted people to see just how good of a professional wrestler I really am.”
