One of the things that I wanted to do post-'Haven' is go after some shows I was a fan of already, and 'Vikings' was on the list.

I liked The Trickster because he was The Flash's Joker. I liked Solomon Grundy, too.

I think the best promo guys make it sound like it's not a promo.

My whole idea, to me, is if you're a heel in wrestling, you should not having a band playing for when you come out and people will react in a positive way.

I own three homes. I drive a Jeep. I'm cool with that.

Chris Jericho and I were really excited about teaming together, but we didn't get to sink our teeth into what we could have done as a team. We really wanted to throw it back to the glory days of Pat Patterson and Ray Stevens. We were committed, we were coming up with team moves, and all of the things were made to work.

You always wonder what's going to happen in a Brock Lesnar match, but if you see Brock every week, it's not as special.

I think WrestleMania 17, everything's subjective, but if it's me, that's the best card and the best pay-per-view ever and just because of the totality of it. From opening match to last match, everything delivered.

Hulk Hogan was my reason for getting into the business. He was this larger-than-life entity.

I read to my kids every night.

For me, Edge was just a character.

It's interesting: I never got stressed before wrestling matches. I always felt completely confident that I had done everything I could do, all my mental preparations when I sat down and envisioned the match, so I never felt stressed.

I don't consider myself this amazing thespian.

With Undertaker and I, we only had one singles match leading up to WrestleMania XXIV, and we realized we had something. We knew going into WrestleMania it was going to be cool. And it was.

I'm 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, which is average size in WWE, but in the world of television and movies, it's huge.

I think The Singh Brothers - I know them as Harv and Gurv - they're doing great.

I've always said this: Edge is purely a character.

'Vikings' is a very physical, tough show. If you see battle scenes, it's us doing it. There are so many similar physical elements to WWE.

I think deep down inside, most of the bad guys want to get cheered - I don't. I want absolutely everybody in there to hate me, and that's the mentality you need to have to be a successful heel.

Imagine you put Brock Lesnar/Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns/John Cena on WrestleMania. Sold.

In no way are King Booker and Queen Sharmell the power couple in WWE.

I like to be doing something creative.

One of the amazing things about acting now is that you can try different things and have choices.

I wasn't a Superman guy - I didn't like the invincible superhero who always wins. Who can get behind someone like that?

I really enjoyed working with Rey Mysterio when we were up against Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit and The Guerreros.

A guy like Bray Wyatt, he could easily have played something in 'True Detective.'

I had no aspirations after wrestling. I truly just assumed I would retire, grow a big beard, sit on my deck, and figure out what was next. If it was nothing, I was OK with that.

With WWE, it's a massive machine, and you will air in 120 countries and have action figures and towels.

When I was growing up, I had three channels, and I didn't know what happened in the Philippines instantly if it happened. Now you can be on the Internet and find out what's going on in Zimbabwe. It's changed.

Wrestling is just a different beast. There is no off-season in WWE. It's week in and week out.

One of the only things that bothered me with WWE and being on every week was blowing off so many great storylines so fast, just out of necessity.

I'm sure I'll get lambasted for this, but I don't get the Asuka thing. Like, I really don't. She's fine, and she's solid, but I don't know. Even going back to the NXT stuff, I've watched it. I don't know. I just never really bought in.

I can't physically put someone over, but I can feel very confident in my ability to tell a story through a promo.

I never had concussion issues. What I have is cervical spinal stenosis.

From a backstage perspective, one of the things I always tried to do in wrestling was maintain that I was Adam. Edge was a character.

There are elements of myself in every character I do, just because you take from your real life experiences and sprinkle those into your character.

I am the man that everyone is compared to in this business.

When I was a kid, I said this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a wrestler.

For me, body art is all about expression; it's a lifestyle and can serve as a reminder that when my career is done, I'll have a story to tell on my body. And it will be my story of my life on my body.

Every tattoo on my body symbolizes a phase in my career.

I am an entertainment juggernaut.

I'm the Rated-R Superstar. I do what I want when I want.

Obviously, being WWE Champion was my main goal in life, but when I started acting, the main thing I wanted to do was play a superhero or supervillain.

The Rated-R Superstar was usually a vile and horrible human being who had some moments of being a good guy.

In Canada, it's beer, hockey, and then everything else.

I did what I always wanted to do. Wrestling. - conquered that. Can't physically do it anymore. So now what? Maybe I'll paint. Maybe I'll write another book. Yeah, I'll try this acting thing and now actually concentrate on it and try and get better at it and take classes and get coaching and give it a shot.

I had a long career that started when I was 17. I wrestled for 20 years, so people forget how long I actually wrestled for.

I wrestled my guys growing up. I've wrestled with Hulk Hogan. I've wrestled against Shawn Michaels. I've wrestled against Ric Flair.

I think Ric Flair is a complete freak, and I mean that in a good way.
