Quotes

• I don't watch my playbacks because I hate to see myself act.
• People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.
• Honestly, I don't aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting... Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.
• You do take a beating in professional wrestling. But I love it.
• The worst injury I have ever suffered in the ring was a torn triceps; they had to take a piece of my hamstring to repair the tear. It was brutal; I was out for 6 months.
• I don't want to intimidate people. There's nothing bullyish about me, you know. If there's anybody who's anti-bully, it's me.
