I like to set goals that seem impossible.

Only one person can retire Brock Lesnar - only one person can end his career - and that person's going to be me.

My goal is to change NXT. It is to change every company I've ever been to, and I've changed every company.

Bill Goldberg can't wrestle.

It's almost like my life is a fairytale.

A lot of people don't know who they are as a wrestler. Even people that walk into the doors of the Performance Center. They might be world-class athletes or models, but they don't know who they are in the ring.

The thing for me is - and one of the reasons I was never a fan of Goldberg in the beginning when everybody was like 'Oh, he's so good! - I was like, 'No, he's terrible, he's hurting people,' and there's nothing else. He just has three-minute matches.

You don't pick up things, get to the top of multiple industries and sports without working hard.

I'm happy wrestling.

I have a huge amount of respect for Lesnar. You know, he's done everything since he came into it. He works hard. You don't look like Lesnar without working hard.

I'm a pretty nice guy.

My striking isn't the prettiest, and I hit really hard.

I'm a very aggressive person. I'm really intense.

I got a short - I got a temper. I fight in a cage for a living. There's a reason people like us are wired slightly different.

I'm just not very good at holding on to jobs.

I can handle boos. Boos entertain me.

I heard London is nice, so maybe it is. But I've only been to the armpit of England.

I like to fight. That's who I am.

The bottom line is, I've got a wife and three kids. I've got bills I have to pay.

I will be completely honest: when I fought in Manchester, they were very cruel to me. One fan actually spat directly in my face, and he was lucky enough where it hit my mouth.

I got into the UFC after six months of training. I started doing jiu-jitsu, had my first fight, tried out for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' and got on.

If you're a wrestler in the WWE, then your goal is to be the headliner, main event of WrestleMania.

In wrestling, sports entertainment, I get to fight in front of people; I get to wrestle in front of people; I get to entertain people sometimes four times a week - all around the country, all around the world.

I just like people that bring in a very competitive mentality to pro wrestling.

When I first started, I lived in Vegas because I was fighting in the UFC, and I was still fighting after the UFC.

I'm already a personable person. I always try to smile and get to know somebody and say hello - even when people are trying not to talk to me.

When I first started wrestling, I didn't even want people to know I was in the UFC.

With wrestling, I'm working all the time, I'm wrestling all the time, I'm performing all the time, and I'm making money all the time.

In my opinion, if I was going to pick main roster guys, I've always had a hunch out for Cesaro. I just feel like if we were able to just go at it, make it a fight, I think it would be pretty sensational.

Me and Kyle O'Reilly have wrestled all around the world. We've done good work.

I started training at the Monster Factory, the ROH dojo, CZW, and I trained there. And eventually, I had a tryout with WWE.

In professional wrestling, the fans are tremendous.

I was landscaping not too long ago, so I'm extremely grateful for the people supporting me in wrestling. Not that landscaping is terrible, but I'd rather be suplexing and punching people.

In mixed martial arts, if you get kicked in the face, it's your job not to show any expression to your opponent.

It always feels good when you hear another guy in your industry give you praise.

For me, it's about eating a bunch of fruit and exercising, which opens up the creativity, makes it easier to give ideas a chance and bubble to the surface. I'm no angel, but it helps me, as does hiking, heading to the ocean to catch some waves - for me, sweating it out is definitely good for the creative process.

I've written songs about love or about a relationship, but never just, 'I love you.'

I've done some stuff with Glenn Danzig before, and while I can't really say that we're friends, we're friendly acquaintances.

With Alkaline Trio, we are who we are. We never really feel too confined, but when we get together, there is an Alkaline Trio sound, and when I go off and do something on my own, there is an element of freedom that I don't have with the Trio.

I first heard of Ulver reading the 'Lords of Chaos' book.

I grew up on Edgar Allen Poe, and I loved Alfred Hitchcock's movies.

I think people hear the words 'transcendental meditation' and 'paganism,' and that's almost worse because it's real. Those are real things. Those are absolute energies. Satanism is like Halloween. Transcendental meditation and having a realization of how we really are - whether we want to be or not - we live in a pagan culture.

Being on Epic, it wasn't like we got signed to a multi-million-dollar deal.

The Sekrets record is very much me, and Dan's Emergency Room is very much him. And then Alkaline Trio is very much ours.

The feeling that you want the listener to get, you should get yourself when you first hit that chord, and that melody comes to mind.

I'm really thankful for the time that I grew up in that we didn't have cell phones, and we made a lot of our own fun.

Being a drummer definitely influences how I play guitar. And then piano influences drumming and vice versa.

Dallas is a good town. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. It always nice to come back.

There are just as many dirt bags in independent music as there are in major labels.

Orange County encompasses a large area that has a lot of Alkaline Trio fans.
