I was at the birth of my two girls.

As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

I guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.

Jewelery isn't really my thing, but I've always got my eye on people's watches.

I don't think I've ever had a real fashion disaster.

I certainly don't think of myself as an action hero.

I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.

I don't like it when people are trying too hard. That goes for clothes, for acting, for everything. It's just not good when it seems like you're making too much of an effort.

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.

A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.

I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that's just me. That's how I live my life.

Sometimes things don't go your way, but you get up and keep going.

Straight edge is everything about a personal decision to not live my life under the influence or not being aware. I pretty much don't like anything that alters my view of reality or my perception or my grasp.

I think being angry is what keeps me motivated.

Everybody knows how to throw a punch. Not correctly - he or she might not know how to turn the wrist or know what part of the hand to hit with. But humans instinctively know to fight, whether they bite or claw or pull hair. It's an instinct.

I'm somebody who constantly wants to challenge himself, evolve, and grow. Because if you don't, you fade. You become stagnant.

I think the good ones, the interviews and the promos people remember, those are improv.

I've shattered every negative stereotype people had about me.

I don't mind getting punched in the face. It kind of wakes me up and gets me excited.

I don't believe you have to be blood to be family, so I have a lot of family members.

The do-it-yourself lifestyle is something that I've translated into wrestling.

I'm somebody who tries to remain positive and looks forward to setting goals and reaching them. But that's easier said than done.

I'm never concerned about my beliefs hurting me in any way. I'd rather lose a job than have to lie.

One of my best friends in the world is Lars Frederiksen. He plays guitar for a band called Rancid.

I understand people want to see me get knocked out.

I think, fundamentally, the core of everything I do is punk rock.

Greg Rucka's 'Lazarus' is amazing.

I'm a polarizing person, so people get caught up in hoping I fail. And just like success, failure is a perspective.

I think everyone's dream is to do nothing.

There's a lot of guys in pro wrestling that just kind of have this MMA fantasy, and they never act on it. I'm acting on it. I don't want to be one of those guys who sits there and goes, 'I could have done that or I should have done that.'

I don't like having debts. I don't like buying anything that I can't buy in cash.

I've been a fan of Bob Odenkirk since he was on HBO originally with 'Mr. Show.'

I think everybody is always selling me short, and then I always prove them wrong.

I like winning or losing, failing or succeeding on my own merit.

Doing the same old thing every day, week in and week out, it gets boring. I'm all about new challenges, new opponents.

When I hear people say that they don't think that I can do something or they don't think I belong somewhere, that's all it takes for me to prove them wrong, and it's motivation.

I'm not superstitious about anything in my life - except for playoff hockey. I get really kind of sketchy and weird about it. I don't like talking about it. I don't like making predictions.

I don't think marriage is in the cards for me. I think it's an archaic institution.

There are always going to be detractors who will say I don't look like I'll be able to hang with Brock Lesnar. But Brock's a freak of nature, and I don't know anybody who looks like they can 'hang' with Brock Lesnar. But anyone can be choked out in seven seconds.

I love the sport, and I have for a long time. I'd stay up late and watch the Pride New Year's Eve shows. I watch all the UFC pay-per-views. I'm a fan. I love this stuff.

Everything I say, it comes from the heart. It's all real.

There's only one thing people love more than their heroes, and that's stomping them into the ground.

I'm an excellent judge of character. I can tell people who want something from me or if they're actually buddies.

I set goals, and I like to reach them and accomplish new things.

The day of my wedding, I got a FedEx in the mail. It was my termination papers. I was fired... on my wedding day.

I get in my own head, and at the end of the day, I'm my biggest critic, and I'm my worst enemy, too.

I'm a goal-oriented person, and instead of focusing on the past, I'd rather focus on the future.
