I always wanted to become a good role model for kids as a professional football player. Unfortunately, I didn't attain that through football, but I was smart enough to realize that professional wrestling provided another opportunity for that.

I made the final decision to become a professional wrestler because I was able to look at Sting and what he was able to do inside and outside the ring.

All those guys wanna be us. All the fighters wanna be in professional wrestling; I don't care what they say.

As a professional wrestler, it's not my position to be the booker, to formulate a match, unless you're asked to do that.

I've found it easier to write, to coalesce my thoughts, since having children. It brings you back to what you experienced yourself as a child, and you empathize with what your parents went through.

To make films, you have to have something to say. To have something to say, you have to be a student of life. And to be a student of life, you have to be feeding yourself with what life, politics, society, and your family fuels you with.

People came to my parents' parties because they were going to have fun and, if lucky, our mother would belly dance. What they didn't know was that the hostess made sure every morsel placed in front of them was pure and without anything artificial, no matter what the cost.

No parent wants their child to get an infection or get pregnant before they're ready.
