Sheamus

“We need to make the bullies aware of what they're doing, why it's wrong, and the effects it has on the kids who they are doing it to. You can see the light bulbs going off in these kids' heads when I say this. I try to put them in the situation of those being bullied. It just makes them aware.”

“I've walked out in front of Madison Square Garden to 20,000 people, which is amazing, as I can remember working in the O2 arena in Dublin as security for wrestling events.”

“I used to work for Symantec AV: I worked as their in-house IT technician, and then I worked as specialized AV support, and then I worked for Hartford Life IT, in Dublin and London. I worked in IT from '99 through to 2007.”

“There was a time when people were like, 'Oh my God, Sheamus' character is boring.' Well, when you're just in wrestling matches all the time, and you're not doing character stuff, then it can be a bit monotonous.”

“One fella who has really impressed me is Big E Langston.”

“When I became a part of Be a STAR and now with Do Something coming together with WWE, we have a much further range and bigger reach to get the message of anti-bullying and the effects of bullying out there.”

“You watch some of the stuff Cesaro does in the ring; with his size, the way he moves around the ring, the moves he hits, the way he picks up guys twice his size. It's just a different level.”

“It's the most important prize in WWE, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. You'll do anything and everything to keep it and to get it, and that includes putting your body on the line and doing whatever it takes.”

“The thing about me and Cesaro is that we both have strong individual personalities.”

“Us Irish are kind of like that: we're hard grafters. We like to prove everybody wrong.”

“I'd love to play Venom. I'm a huge 'Spider-Man' fan, and Venom was the character that drew me into the comics.”

“I have been in the spotlight, and I have been out of it.”

“I'd love to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I would love nothing more.”

“When I look back at my career, I was always trying to be this particular 'Celtic Warrior' character.”

“The League of Nations could've been something really, really big... it wasn't. A lot of guys were frustrated about it in a way.”

“It's always good for people to like you, but as long as people react to you coming out, whether they are booing you or cheering you, it's great.”

“It's really a dream come true being a WWE Superstar and being in 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' These are just larger-than-life franchises and great to be a part of.”

“I want to give Irish kids something to be proud of back home. I want to bring out a stronger image of Ireland instead of 'Irish Spring' and 'Lucky Charms' and all that rubbish.”

“I've been playing video games since the Commodore 64 when I was about 5 years old.”

“The fact that I'm even in a video game blows me away, but 'WWE 12' is even more special to me because they have a whole storyline around Sheamus in the game. It's really, really cool.”
