I wasn't 'gifted' in the way that Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns or somebody like that is gifted, in that they got the physical attributes and so forth.
-
I have no fear of anybody or anything happening to me in WWE because nothing can be as bad as some of the injuries I went through and some of the grotesque things that have happened to my body.
-
I can't imagine, I can't get in the mind of a wrestling fan who wants to break news that spoils a surprise for somebody. Would you want a surprise spoiled?
-
I can't remember a time when wrestling wasn't my thing that I watched. As far back as my memory goes, I was already obsessed with wrestling.
-
I've always fed off negativity and wanting people to hate me. That attitude really fueled me for my entire career. So being a guy that people like and want to cheer for is the weird part.
-
I hate in-ring promos. I've never done a promo in WWE that I liked.
-
I hate ladders. I don't mind heights, but I hate getting hit with ladders and falling into ladders. Anything where there are ladders involved or inanimate, unpredictable objects or multiple people gets dangerous.
-
WWE prepares you for so much other stuff in entertainment.
-
A lot of people say, 'It takes a lot to beat him,' or whatever. I'm trying to show you in the most literal terms, my body is indestructible, whether its glass or fire or barbed wire.
-
If you're a wrestling fan, and you watch it on TV, that's great, but there's nothing quite like being there live.
-
What I do in WWE is essentially a lovable bad guy.
-
I always take pride in the fact that nobody can mess with me, and I never let anybody mess with me my entire life.
-
Ziggler is one of those guys who don't get all of the credit he deserves for being so good consistently for so long.
-
I don't look any further than what's right in front of me.
-
You'll find that all WWE performers, when they go on to any television show or set of any kind, we're more prepared that we get credit for. We don't get enough credit.
-
In a situation like the Rumble, I'm looking around constantly and keeping my back against a rope as much as possible so I can see what's going on.
-
Where a new guy may only know one or two ways to do something, I know all of the moves, and I've forgotten more stuff than the newer guys might even know.
-
To be in an Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania, that is the stuff dreams are made of.
-
While it's cool to think ghosts exist, I don't want to see one.
-
I may not be the biggest guy in the world or strongest guy in the world. I don't have those gifts. But I will take more punishment, and I'm willing to withstand more abuse.
-
I put in the same hours to get good at this as a surgeon who went to college. It's just a much less important job in the realm of society.
-
WWE is like showbiz boot camp.
-
I don't like the water. I'm a land guy.
-
I'm much more comfortable being hated than being beloved.
