I was sort of like a scout for Eric Bischoff if I saw people who had the talent. Sometimes I wouldn't bring people to him until they had the gimmick, like Raven.

I don't think there is anybody, including Jeff Hardy, who puts their body through as much abuse as A. J. Styles.

People don't understand that, when I was at WCW, if I wasn't wrestling that night, I was down at the Power Plant teaching. I was teaching people how to do stuff, but every time you teach someone, you learn more. The more you learn, the more you teach. The more you teach, the better you get.

One of my biggest supporters is Gerry Briscoe.

No one iced their body in professional wrestling before me. I did it because I was 35, 36, 37. I was already what would have been considered an old timer.

I stretched my whole career - it didn't save me when I blew my back, and of course, that's where the whole things of DDP Yoga comes from.

I would have always liked to have worked with Randy Orton because of the Diamond Cutter and the RKO.

I knew no one had better ring psychology than Jake Roberts.

As great as Hulk Hogan was, he still wasn't that great a worker.

Wrestling is cyclical. And if you look at the '80s, it had an unbelievable run, and then it just fell down. '90s had the biggest run ever because of the Monday Night Wars.

Some of my biggest victories have come directly after some of my biggest failures.

Vince McMahon made me a much better businessman, and I'm super thankful to him.

My business wouldn't be doing as strong as it is without the support of WWE.

DDP Yoga was never developed for yoga users: it was developed for people who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga - the people who really need it.

Yoga is 'so hum,' spiritual and all that, and I get it, and I respect that, but that's not what I do. What I do with DDP Yoga, we have changed the face of how it's represented. The spiritual stuff for us is about the power of positivity along with giving people that inner confidence.

The biggest thing I've learned, on the inside of my Hall of Fame ring, normally people put their name. I've put 'Work ethic equals results! DDP.'

My first match with Bill Goldberg, it was for the World Title in 1998. Bill had only been wrestling a year. Well, we stole the show. Because I was going to make Bill look as good as he was, and he was great. He had that incredible charisma, personality, and that 'it' factor. Rousey has that same thing.

Rock has the ability to make you feel like you're the only person in the room.

People don't understand, and I do, is what happens after wrestling. What do you do when people stop chanting your name? For me, I already had that with the nightclub business before wrestling and now with DDP YOGA.

I can bend over and put my head between my legs, stick my foot over my head, and stand one leg.

I used to say Page Joseph Falkinburg - which is my given name - when Page Joseph Falkinburg stopped trying to be this over-the-top professional wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page, and Diamond Dallas Page became Page Joseph Falkinburg, that's when my career took off.

I'm that guy. The guy that you think I am, I am. Not everybody can say that.

I'm a big fan of Denzel Washington, and when I met him, he was just cool. And I was glad.

You can meet me - and I won't disappoint. That's how I am.

I was reading at a third-grade level until the age of 30 before I made the decision that I was going to learn how to read.

I don't need to prove anything in that ring anymore. I've done all that.

Kevin Dunn is great at what he does.

I don't think I'll ever be out of wrestling, because I was that kid at 8 years old that dreamed of being a world champion.

I live for inspiring people to do things they think they can't. My goal is to completely eliminate the word 'can't' from the equation.

In my mind, I always felt like I was worthy. I really felt like, with my career and just the way I did it, it was Hall of Fame-worthy.

I wrote a book called 'Yoga for Regular Guys.' We made the title of the book funny, but it was actually super serious. We were trying to get regular guys to do yoga. It just kept developing from there, and the concept eventually turned into DDP YOGA. I am so passionate about it.

You can sit in the chair and do the workout. There's no other program in the world that is like DDP YOGA.

You rarely see me without a DDP YOGA shirt on. There are times where I wear a regular shirt when I do an interview, and in the middle of it, I go, 'Wait a second. Let me change my shirt.'

You'll never see me in an airport without a DDP YOGA shirt. It says, 'It Ain't Your Mama's Yoga' on the back and 'DDP YOGA' in the front. Every time I walk around, people see the shirt, and it makes them smile.

Wrestling is the first reality show. With a reality show, you never what is real and what is not.

Everybody has some kind of addiction. It's about how you get around that addiction. First, you have to break the habit like anything. You have to define the hurdle or the objective.

I worked the bar business in Fort Lauderdale.

When you become a wrestler at 35 and your career takes off at 40, nobody believes in you. But there are some people out there who watch how I did it, and I did it through intense work ethic.

I always believed I would be in the Hall of Fame when my career came to an end. I just didn't know when.

I was the guy from the Jersey Shore, Springsteen country. We don't do yoga there. And we made fun of anybody who did.

For the first 42 years of my life, I was the guy who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga.

I'm all about health.

Flexibility is youth.

P90X and Insanity are awesome workouts for young guys who aren't beat up. DDPYoga is for guys who are beat up. It's the fountain of youth for beat-up guys.

I'm not scary anymore.

It took eight years for DDP Yoga to become an overnight sensation.

At 31, I decided to learn how to read and, at 32, read my first book: Lee Iacocca's autobiography. Ten years later, with my friend Larry 'Smokey' Genta, I wrote my first book, which was my proudest accomplishment.

I teach people how to breathe; I teach them how to use dynamic resistance, which is what gets your heart rate jacked up.

I have a huge respect for yoga today.

People used to say, 'Well, how do you fake that?' Two words - we don't. When you got hit with the chair, you got hit with the chair.
