I grew up in Jersey. I've been to the Jersey Shore countless times. I've lived it.

The Democratic Party has to be run by progressives... because we can't let another monster like Donald Trump win again... even if we seem impolite in our fight back against him.

These Hillary supporters just drove a car into a giant ditch named Trump. They let Trump win. They let him become the most powerful man on Earth. Sorry, you're not getting the wheel again after driving into the ditch.

In our system of government, the president is not supposed to be above the law. He is not a king; his word is not the law.

The president can violate the law, and when he does, he is supposed to be held accountable. That is supposed to be one of the pillars of our democracy.

Because Bernie is going to bring in progressives and not lobbyists and people who are pro-corporate... for the establishment of the Democratic party, Bernie Sanders was more dangerous than Donald Trump.

Why do millennials like Bernie Sanders so much? I love that this is a mystery to Washington. It's the authenticity, stupid.

The older generation grew up on blow-dried anchors, plastic politicians, and an ocean of pretense. Realness seems unvarnished and unpolished to them.

Like Diogenes, when millennials went on their pursuit to find the one honest man in politics, it was obvious that man was Bernie Sanders.

Millennials are much more informed than they get credit for, and many are more politically knowledgeable than older generations.

Sixty-nine percent of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein was personally responsible for 9/11 when we invaded Iraq. That is the biggest failure of the media I have ever seen.

Imagine a progressive president fighting to fix the insane economic inequality in the country or to end the senseless drug war or, best of all, battling to get money out of politics. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I don't want to negotiate with the power brokers in Washington; I want to tear them down.

Republicans, Democrats, libertarians, and independents all agree on only one thing - our national politicians are bought.

Phil Griffin, who happens to be the head of MSNBC, is not a liberal or progressive. I worked at MSNBC; I talked to Phil Griffin many times. I know Phil Griffin. He is not remotely progressive. All he cares about is success in his own career.

TV has made everyone so vanilla it's nearly impossible to tell one anchor apart from another.

It is inconceivable that CNN's morning show or any other show could be anything but horribly boring. Why? Because they won't let anyone take risks.

Let's establish that no one in Washington actually cares about balancing the budget.

Whenever people in Washington complain about spending cuts, they mean spending cuts that would affect defense contractors. They want to massively increase spending cuts everywhere else in the budget.

When's the last time CNN broke an important story or really made the government angry? I literally can't remember. That's because they're built to be inoffensive. They do the opposite of watchdog journalism. They simply pass on the government's message to their audience.

Even the most ardent Obama supporter can't, in good conscience or sound mental state, argue that President Obama has changed the way Washington works. He's just played the game a little better, if you're being charitable on how you keep score on that count.

The Democratic Party takes huge amounts of cash from corporations and unions to vote a certain way.

I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I think that shows hard work pays off. A good thing takes a while.

I think you can learn from pretty much everybody if you just open your eyes.

I like to try new stuff and experiment. That's why I think it's entertaining to watch my matches, because you never know what I'm going to do, and you see things that you've never seen before.

We take care of each other. I took care of Sheamus when he had a hole in his head - and he took care of me when I had no teeth.

I have a lot of maneuvers in my back pocket, so to speak. And to me, the thing is to always surprise the audience so they're always seeing something new, and not just get stuck in the same rut.

My brain can form thoughts that come out through my mouth. The problem is sometimes I stumble the words because I speak five different languages - we know all that - so the thing is, I like to speak the language that everybody speaks all around the world, that the WWE Universe loves... that's the language of wrestling that I do in the ring.

I was a big fan of wrestling growing up and of WWE.

Growing up in Switzerland, you learn German pretty much from day one in school. You learn French and Italian as well. I took English as an extra language because I figured that was the language of the world.

People hide behind fake names to tweet negative comments, and I hate that. If you have something to say, own up to it.

Hard work pays off if you stay true to yourself and dedicated.

There's a place called Chipotle in the U.S. It's Mexican food where everything is made to order; you can get some rice, black beans, and meat. That's what I eat three times a day.

To me, if people think about wrestling, they think about elbow drops, body slams, and stringing somebody in the circle.

I just think we need to have a little sense of humor about yourself and just live and learn, take some chances.

I produce the most exciting matches with pretty much any person on the roster. Pick any guy on the roster, and I can tell you a match I had with them that people can still remember.

You have to be a professional in every single thing you do.

I tend to have great chemistry with whomever I step in the ring with because of the way I train and came up in this business.

I think Raw, going forward, needs to be about the Superstars. It needs to be about the performers in the ring and not about how Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley co-exist.

I'm the living proof that the WWE Universe wants to see wrestling. They want to see in-ring action.

I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.

I feel like everything in WWE I earn the hard way.

There is nothing like WWE live.

I guess I'm just a tough cookie.

I know the WWE is popular, but it is extremely popular here in the Middle East and the U.A.E.

I think, over my career, if you look at it in WWE, Sheamus has always been one of my biggest adversaries and one of the ones I would like to say I had some very memorable bouts with. It's definitely fun to be in the ring with him.

The last time I was in Abu Dhabi, I had a blast. I went jet-skiing in the Arabian Gulf, I went to Ferrari World, and went to Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I just enjoyed the city and the life. It was just amazing, and I am really looking forward to coming back.

I think the best things are the ones that happen organically and take a while because nothing really happens overnight if you think about it.

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.

Austin's a great wrestling town. There's a lot of WWE fans when we get there, and they're always really loud.
