The way I look at it, I'm more of a man because I'm in touch with my emotions. I think people that deny their emotions are pretty weak individuals, if you want my honest opinion.

Defining moments are the moments that either define you, or you define the moment.

I want to make myself more marketable. Well, in order to do that, I need to lose some weight.

I have a self-deprecating sense of humor, so I knock myself.

The Undertaker is the John Wayne of our business. I watched him come out and deliver some of the best matches night after night.

The Internet is filled with so-called experts who couldn't lace up a pair of boots.

There is nothing more powerful in the world than the human spirit and the human will.

There is nothing that anyone can stop you from doing if you really want.

You don't want to have a fast career for two years. You want to have an amazing career for 20 years.

Not everybody is going to be John Cena. Not everybody is going to be The Rock. You need to be what you can be and contribute like you can.

Arn Anderson - I loved 'The Enforcer' Arn. He cut the best promos. He always looked cool because he had that Polo with the rope chain, the rose-colored glasses, and that mean beard.

I was trained by Terry Taylor and Triple H. Triple H always hated when I say that.

WWE is home; it's a family. I'll always be a part of this as long as I can contribute in some positive way. But I know there's a time when the sun sets on everything.

I'm a little worried because I've heard that Shaq has got, like, really fat. If he's going to go into WrestleMania bigger than me, I'm going to lose my moniker as 'The World's Largest Athlete.' I hope he is well. I hope he is healthy.

People love storylines. They love them because at some point, the talent will get people emotionally invested.

I used to do an impersonation of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in a romantic relationship.

The best match I've ever been in match-wise, I wrestled The Undertaker in France in a coliseum that was built in 300 A.D. by the Romans. It was the most amazing match I've ever been in.

Miami is always my favorite town to work because it's a short drive home.

I love representing WWE, like, with Make-A-Wish, Be a STAR, Special Olympics.

I think I'll always have a home in WWE.

I've had a great career and had a lot of fun.

One of the first media tours I did was with The Rock - no one knew who I was, as I had just come from WCW; they thought I was The Rock's bodyguard.

A lot of U.K. wrestlers are very good at chain wrestling, telling a story through holds, while American wrestling is a little more flashy, with lots of high-spots.

Diversity makes us better and allows us to grow, which is what I want for WWE.

London is a great place to be over Christmas.

I used to live on a houseboat near Hammersmith Bridge.

As a young man, the temptation was to drink the minibar dry. I did all that - now I prefer to get outdoors.

I discovered I'm 60 per cent Viking. Well, more Danish, I suppose. I'm also two-and-a-half per cent Neanderthal.

My earliest memory is feeling soil between my fingers when I was around three years old.

I grew up in a little town between Bath and Bristol with my parents and grandparents in the same house. It was rural and idyllic.

People perceive me as this kind of hippy intellectual, reflecting and communing with nature or in a pyramid somewhere chanting. Really, no. I love speed, fast things, quad and road bikes, and bombing down a mountain.

Fatherhood made everything more straightforward. I was relieved that no longer did I have to agonise over what meaning I had in my life.

If you really push yourself you can perhaps achieve something you didn't think you could.

Comedy can be quite all consuming at times, and if you're not careful you end up doing a tour, then a DVD, then another tour then a DVD. Suddenly the years have just flown by.

Having a break from comedy is quite good.

The point with me is that it's always been, even with the stand-up, that the music has to be right. You have to take it seriously. You have to try and play it as faithfully as possible. That way it helps the comedy. Rather than just playing it in a silly way.

I'm an omnivore, although I am trying to eat less meat. I went vegetarian for about two years, then I suddenly got a craving one morning and that was it.

The two worst enemies of comedy are lack of sleep and not having had a decent meal.

I am pretty laid-back as a parent, but I do like a lot of activity. So I am constantly suggesting things to do that involve some physical activity: cycling, mountain biking and paddleboarding.

I love to watch birds and wildlife.

I get a lot of nutters in my audiences.

The Lib Dems are such terrible ditherers.

As a comedian and satirist you have to be neutral, because everyone's fair game. Once you show bias, you lose that.

Somehow the Tories have deflected the righteous anger at the bankers who we bailed out. The Tories manage to take that outrage and direct it at benefit claimants. It's genius. Evil genius.

My comedy comes from the actual music itself - they're observational musical gags. I could take the music away and it would just be some words.

I think people are quite refreshed with politicians who aren't concerned with what Arctic Monkeys track they like, but with the day-to-day, dull business of politics.

I have sold stuff door-to-door, but not doors.

There is something very poignant about plastic bags. These lonely plastic bags that gradually disintegrate.

When I was 15, I went to see the Stranglers at Bath Pavilion. I saw Jean-Jacques Burnel take off his bass and whack a skinhead over the head with it because he gave a Nazi salute. I thought: 'This is brilliant!'

In my twenties, I floated around for years, doing the odd theatre job but mainly leading a hedonistic lifestyle, getting intoxicated in plenty of different ways in plenty of different places.
