“Wrestling is like improv. You have to feel and sense what the other person is going to do next and respond faster than they do.”
“I think home has become my friends and family, wherever they are.”
“I really love period pieces.”
“I need to do more on stage. I've got to get my fix!”
“Early on, you don't have the luxury of a lot of choices. Sometimes you're forced to do things that will advance your career and not necessarily things that fulfill you artistically, but I've been fortunate to do a lot of both.”
“It's very difficult when you have $1.50 per day to spend on food and drink, but for people who live this reality, that money also has to cover medical expenses and education, fuel and shelter - sometimes for an entire family.”
