Growing up wrestling, you get injured, and they expect you back on the mat in a couple weeks unless it's really bad.

I spent a lot of my childhood growing up in Oklahoma, where I wrestled and played baseball.

The wrestling experiences I've had, the understanding I have of my body, that stuff has allowed me to excel.

Disney World was tough because you do a lot of walking, but it was worth it. To see the smiles on the faces of my kids and the memories that we made makes it all worth it.

I've made a career out of playing the id: the guy that says whatever pops into his head.

Now in India, a village boy who has worked his way up to work at a call center, or if he gets a job working even as a busboy in a Taj or an Oberoi hotel, he'll put on his wedding announcement with pride, 'Busboy at the Taj' or 'Call center, Office Tiger.'

When you're picking a basketball team, you'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds.

My failed corporate career became the fodder for the 'Dilbert' comic. Once it became clear I would not be climbing any higher on the corporate ladder, it freed me to mock managers without worrying that it would stall my career. Most failures create some sort of unplanned freedom. I took full advantage of mine.
