As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.

I've never gone to acting school and I never will, so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting.

I can be intolerably jealous and I think that's what's driven me. My ambition knows no end.

No one picked on me for my lunch money. Probably because it was the 1980s and no one had lunch money.

People think I should be a success, but I'm afraid of it.

There are moments when television systems are young and haven't formed properly, and there's room for lots of original stuff. Then things become more and more top-heavy with executives who are trying to guarantee the success of things.

There's a lot of goals I've set in the WWE that I want to accomplish. I'm always setting goals for myself, and someday I want to be in the Hall of Fame.

I know career motivation and encouragement up the ladder of success have their place in the world. But I don't want them anywhere near my spirituality.
