-
I had always previously really fed off of negativity and enjoyed being the guy who everybody hated.
-
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 hate in-ring promos. I've never done a promo in WWE that I liked.
-
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'm doing some more dangerous stuff on a weekly basis than professional stunt men are doing.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I always take pride in the fact that nobody can mess with me, and I never let anybody mess with me my entire life.
-
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.
-
Ziggler is one of those guys who don't get all of the credit he deserves for being so good consistently for so long.
-
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.
-
I don't look any further than what's right in front of me.
-
WWE is like showbiz boot camp.
-
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.
-
I don't like the water. I'm a land guy.
-
I like to fly close to the edge. I like to play with fire.
-
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.
