Every year, I say the Seahawks are going to win the Super Bowl. There's no doubt in my mind every single year. And you have to keep in mind this was well before the Seahawks were good. This was, like, 2-14, drafting-Rick-Mirer Seahawks. I would still be saying they were going to win the Super Bowl.

I don't do really well in cities, which is crazy given that we're flying in and out of these major cities every week.

Wrestling is different to me. As I talk to other wrestlers, wrestling seems a little different to me than it does to a lot of them. To me, it's about an artistic performance and about honing my artistic performance in pursuit of these minute moments of perfection. These little encapsulations. And none of them are ever perfect.
-
To me, the funnest part of wrestling is evolving. If you stay the same all the time, you're eventually going to be left behind.

I would read a lot about how to be a dad. I had never changed a diaper before we had Birdie.
-
I didn't really grow up playing video games. I had an original Nintendo after the original Nintendo was cool.
-
When I was around nine, my parents took me to my first live event, which was a WWE show with Ultimate Warrior. From then on, I loved it.
-
I'm a terrible actor. I would suck in films! The only way I would do well is if I was playing myself, which is what I did in my career.
-
I've always thought Shawn Michaels's story is fascinating.
-
I wasn't a great athlete.
-
William Regal has been the most influential person in my entire career.
-
For some reason, the fans got behind me, and I don't know exactly why that is. I wasn't supposed to main event WrestleMania XXX, but the fans were so vocal about it that the fans had no choice but to put me in the match. I've had a lot of lucky breaks.

A lot of people don't understand how hard the girls on 'Total Divas' work. They're on the road, the same as the rest of us, and then when they get home, they've got to be filming this whole time.

You have to realize that a lot of life is just fortune and the ebbs of flows of what goes on.
-
I'd like to to do a major pay-per-view match with Seth Rollins. I'd love do a major pay-per-view match with Stardust.

As you write about your life, there's a lot of things that you think about that you regret. It's interesting, because one of the things I regret the most is spending so much time focused on wrestling as opposed to focusing on my family.
-
I think whatever you have in your life, my opinion is that if you know that there's something wrong, you try to fix it.
-
I always try to live in the moment.
-
I really don't know life without wrestling.
-
I am a big Seth Rollins fan and have been for a long period of time.
-
I will say this about the Miz: Even though I don't like his wrestling style, he is a very hard worker. I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I want him to do well.
-
My favorite wrestler growing up was Dean Malenko. He was a very technical wrestler, and when I trained with Shawn Michaels, he wasn't that kind of a technical wrestler. So, when I finally met Regal in 2001, he was that kind of a wrestler, and all of a sudden, I could ask him things, and he would know what I was talking about and how to do it.
-
That is one of the coolest things about WWE and wrestling in general. The fans have this very unique voice and this very unique power, and in no other sport and no other form of entertainment can the fans make their voices heard and it effect change.

In combat sports, personalities are what draw.
