Wrestling saved my life.

You walk into an arena with 10,000 people and no security and everybody hating you, it takes some gumption.

'Piper's Pit' was totally unscripted - everything just happened - thus, innovation was a challenging must to accomplish.

Many hotels, I just sat there and - I call it the silent scream - I don't know why, you just sit there, and tears will just come down, and you'll just sit there for hours, man. There's no place to turn, and when you do turn, who cares? You're just a dumb professional wrestler.

If you are the heel, and if you are doing your job right, you are most hated.

I was trained by, at the time, the toughest man in the world. Not according to him, either. His name is 'Judo' Gene Lebell, and he trained Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris. He's the godfather of MMA.

They say that wrestlers are actors, and they couldn't be more wrong. The truth is wrestling and acting could not be more opposite. Wrestling is explosion, and acting is implosion.

The very first individual that breaks out in my mind as a top villain is Gorgeous George, and it's hard to beat the first guy.

CM Punk is a very talented man, and I'm a big fan of his.

The bottom line is, don't be a lifer. Get in, get a business, get five years of what you can, and get out. What happens is they start listening to the promoters, 'You'll get the next main event.' And then, all of a sudden, you become a lifer. That's the kiss of death there. Get in shape, go in, get the money, get out, and have a wonderful life.

I've been in 30 car crashes, none of 'em my fault, I swear on a stack of midgets... OK, they were probably all my fault.

WWE and I have a long history, and I remember some very fun days back in the day.

I left home when I was 13. When I was 15, I was living in a youth hostel, and I was the 167-pound amateur wrestling champion.

Only thing I ever thought I'd see is a picture with me in a uniform with stripes on it and a number under my mug shot.

When I get to Heaven, I'll want to fight.

I ran out of tears when I was 14.

There was a lot of work that people don't know about that I did to establish my villain persona. There were a lot of miles on the road that went into it, thousands upon thousands of hours of writing on yellow pads while driving in my car with the dome light on.

You've got to realize, I've been stabbed three times; I'm not too used to this kind of love from people. It has been unbelievable the amount of support I've gotten. I'm getting letters, packages, e-mails, and phone calls from so many people. It's just overwhelming.

The WWE gave me a family and a life.

For anyone who's not familiar with 'Piper's Pit,' they need to know one thing - there's absolutely no rules.

I'm a very lucky person.

It's very humbling to know that the industry has cast me as the greatest heel in the history of the business.

It's one thing to talk the talk; it's another thing to walk after getting whacked with a coconut.

I'm very proud of The Rock.
