When I started, I just put my nose to the grindstone, had great trainers and opponents like Fit Finlay, Arn Anderson, Booker T, Umaga and Bob Holly, and good things started to happen.

One of my first overseas trips with WWE was to France. I walked out of our hotel, and I see a little kid walking toward me with his mom. He gets a couple of steps past me and he stops in his tracks. I see his mom do a little bit of a double-take, then he runs over and just grabs on and starts hugging my leg as hard as he can, then he starts crying.

If people will pay to see it, I'll fight anyone in any sport.

I've had no documented concussions.

I try to take care of myself as much as possible.

I can go and fight, take one punch, and have a concussion and start having issues with it, or I can wrestle my entire career and never have a concussion. It's just a hazard of the business.

One thing you gotta take into consideration is that it's professional wrestling, and you know it going in. There's dangers to every profession, and our particular profession, concussions is one thing.

I'm a baby face in real life - in person.

Any fighter, at the end of the day, that says it's not about the money is ridiculous. We wouldn't be training this hard, putting our bodies on the line, and torturing our bodies if there wasn't a payday at the end of the day.

Kenny King, his character on TV is him.

Some guys lock up when they hear the crowd. I feel the energy and take it with me into the fight. I've been in front of huge crowds and know to use that energy.

Pro wrestling has absolutely helped my fighting.

I was a part of the largest WrestleMania ever, so I know how to feed off the energy from the crowd in my fights.

My dad demanded results. I wasn't expected just to be a student, I was supposed to get straight A's. My dad didn't want me just to play sports, he pushed me to win state championships in high school and national championships.

I hate to lose.

Being in the wrestling business, it was a whole lot to deal with in a short amount of time. I went from amateur wrestling one minute to, the next minute, I'm traveling the world, and I'm on the road 250 days a year.

A.J. Styles is great - he's a great performer - so I'm not going to take anything away from him.

One of the best things I've ever been told is that it's better for someone to tell you to slow down than to speed up.

When I train for fights, my kids understand, and they have my back. They are there with me.

I love what I do. I love the competition of fighting. And I love to wrestle.

I train hard. A lot of people that I train with, they get blown away by how hard I'm able to train.

In order to resist injuries and stay healthy, you have to be mobile and agile. You have to be able to have your body work for you.

My kids are my biggest motivation.

I don't spoil myself on extravagant cars or spending money on jewelry. So I save a lot of the money I have.

Money is not it for me. I love to travel and take care of my kids and be around my children.

If somebody has something negative to say, I'm a very - I won't say introverted, because I'm not introverted - I'm a very, just, calm person.

I don't go on social media.

A lot of people in MMA do part-time jobs.

Wrestling has done a lot for my life.

Anything can happen in a fight, and anything can happen in training.

Wrestling has taken me on a ride and a love affair. I absolutely enjoy wrestling.

I was a business management major.

If you play college sports, it's not like you have to - the next step in your career is another sport. You don't have to go into another sport. If you play college sports, you obviously graduated with a degree.

You can scout people as much as you want. At the end of the day, it's a fight, so you got to be ready for almost anything.

Listen, you ignorant hillbillies, Lynyrd Skynyrd's dead. They're dead, they're dead, they're dead. The South's not risin' again. The slaves have been emancipated.

I'm kind of a dummy. I make movies and not realize until afterwards, 'Oh, I'm the protagonist.'

I like genre films.

I like movies that don't fit in a category. Like, 'Get Out' - that was one of my favorite movies in a long time, and what is that?

I really like 'Disaster Artist.'

I started doing comedy when I was a teenager with Tom Kenny, who is the voice of SpongeBob. I don't want to name drop, but, I've known him since I was 6.

My heroes, growing up, were people like Andy Kaufman and Groucho Marx and people that very rarely drop the persona.

I didn't feel ever that people needed to know who I was.

I'm not into comedies that are joke-driven.

The movies I make don't take place in reality.

I like to go to the movies and watch characters who make me question how I see the world.

I'm making movies about people as flawed as myself and the viewers. So if you just have a reptilian brain and live your life simply by reacting to things, my movies aren't going to work for you.

I've always been battling this perception people have of me, this character. It follows me around. 'Bubba the Bear' shows up when I'm checking into a hotel, when I'm on a plane. I can't get upset with people if they're only aware of a small part of my body of work. But inside I do.

I started out making fun of comedy. Then I became the thing I was making fun of.

Success is for creeps.

I have an aversion to comedy where everybody speaks in punchlines.
