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.

My role model has been Shah Rukh Khan. There is something or the other for one to learn from his career.

I don't like to criticise referees because I believe it is a very complicated job, and what they do is very beneficial for football.

God, I love John Cassavetes. Throughout my acting career and continuing to be an actor and grow, I think there have been so many outstanding actresses, and I hope I can live up to the things they created and continue that on. I think Gina Rowlands is an amazing actress.

As a freelance artist, you have to please somebody instead of just making music. But when the employer trusts and leans on you to determine what is right for a scene or feeling, that's ideal.
