I've never really been a character on TV. I think, if possible, you want to portray yourself. If you're in a situation where you're supposed to react, you need to react.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
When I was around nine, my parents took me to my first live event, which was a WWE show with Ultimate Warrior. From then on, I loved it.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
My favorite wrestler growing up was Dean Malenko. He was a very technical wrestler, and when I trained with Shawn Michaels, he wasn't that kind of a technical wrestler. So, when I finally met Regal in 2001, he was that kind of a wrestler, and all of a sudden, I could ask him things, and he would know what I was talking about and how to do it.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
To me, the funnest part of wrestling is evolving. If you stay the same all the time, you're eventually going to be left behind.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I've been wrestling since I was 18 years old. And within the first five months of my wrestling career, I'd already had three concussions. And for years after that, I would get a concussion here and there, and it gets to the point that when you've been wrestling for 16 years, that adds up to a lot of concussions.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
As you write about your life, there's a lot of things that you think about that you regret. It's interesting, because one of the things I regret the most is spending so much time focused on wrestling as opposed to focusing on my family.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I'd like to to do a major pay-per-view match with Seth Rollins. I'd love do a major pay-per-view match with Stardust.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
My No. 1 dream match is Brock Lesnar. And I want that to be a WrestleMania match. I don't know if the WWE will ever let that happen, because they might be afraid he might legitimately hurt me pretty bad.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I didn't really grow up playing video games. I had an original Nintendo after the original Nintendo was cool.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
The thing that I have to stay away from is sweets. I have a horrible sweet tooth. It's just the worst.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I think of Bret Hart as somebody who held the Intercontinental championship like it was the World Heavyweight championship. Every title match he was in felt important, like it was the most important thing on the show. The way he carried himself and the matches he had, it was just everything I thought a champion should be.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I've always respected and appreciated Punk, but we never really hung out. We came from the same route, but we didn't necessarily hang out in the same circles. I've always had a great appreciation and respect for his hard work.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
Wrestling is different to me. As I talk to other wrestlers, wrestling seems a little different to me than it does to a lot of them. To me, it's about an artistic performance and about honing my artistic performance in pursuit of these minute moments of perfection. These little encapsulations. And none of them are ever perfect.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I spent a lot of time over in England wrestling at Butlins holiday camps for Brian Dixon and All Star Wrestling.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
One of the autobiographies I really liked was Bob Dylan's. It was interesting because he didn't do it in a linear fashion.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I don't do really well in cities, which is crazy given that we're flying in and out of these major cities every week.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
WWE was an opportunity to wrestle in front of thousands - in 2013, I did 227 matches, and almost all of them were in front of more than three or four thousand people, with a high of 70,000 plus. It was an incredible experience to be part of that.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I love wrestling, but to wrestle just one style for the rest of my life seems like it would really hold me down creatively.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I like having a bunch of different experiences. I don't want to do just one thing for the rest of my life.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I have no problem with people eating meat. I would just like it, for the people who do eat meat, for the animals to be treated better. To be treated humanely. Cows in pastures living the life that they're supposed to live. I have no problem with that.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I went from being a guy who was sparingly being used on television to being the World Heavyweight Champion and the focus of a lot of the storylines on Smackdown.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I'm a terrible actor. I would suck in films! The only way I would do well is if I was playing myself, which is what I did in my career.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I'm into environmental and ecological issues, so maybe that is an avenue to go down.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
Part of me wants to stay involved in wrestling, because I love it. But the thing I loved most about it was the wrestling part of it. I didn't get into it to be famous or to be a TV star: I got into it because I loved the act of wrestling.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I love wrestling, and I love the entertainment aspect of wrestling, but the rest of my life, I just want to be able to live and enjoy my life. I don't want to be living it essentially for other people's entertainment.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
A lot of people don't understand how hard the girls on 'Total Divas' work. They're on the road, the same as the rest of us, and then when they get home, they've got to be filming this whole time.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I like Everton. If I'm going to cheer for that kind of football team, I'm going to cheer for Everton. But the Seahawks are my passion.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I think whatever you have in your life, my opinion is that if you know that there's something wrong, you try to fix it.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I'm having a really hard time with this retirement thing and not having wrestling.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I think one of the things that really endeared me to people was that people got to view more aspects of my personality than most because of the different things that I did within WWE.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I feel like I'm not the greatest general manager in the history of general managers, but I do OK, and I'm learning as I go. I try to just do my best with it.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
The blessings wrestling has given me have allowed me to find some new passions, but it's really hard when you've got that first love, and nothing really replaces it.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I always think of it in terms of music. You're not always going to be a huge rock star in music, but musicians can play until the day they die. With sports, it's different. You can't always do it until the very end, and that's a hard reality of sports.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
Wrestling is more of a creative outlet, and especially for somebody like me, I view it as my creative outlet. Not all WWE superstars and not all wrestlers view it that way, but that's how I view it, and that's one of the ways my mind works creatively.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I keep trying to convince people that I'm OK to wrestle, and I think that's probably the hard part. A lot of times I'm trying to convince myself, too, that I can wrestle. It's really hard, because the concussion issue is very subjective, and that's the part that a lot of people don't understand.
Quote by -Daniel Bryan
I will say this about the Miz: Even though I don't like his wrestling style, he is a very hard worker. I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I want him to do well.
