I can say I know Linda McMahon quite well, yet they've only been brief encounters going all the way back to 1985 when I first worked for WWF/WWE. I started in 1984, but I don't recall meeting her until 1985. I can say this much: Linda McMahon has never changed. I think of few women in my lifetime that I respect more than her.

I think WCW will kill any kind of joy in your life. I think I started hating money. The money they paid me was insane, but I would be off and fly first-class airplane, luxury cars and hotels, and then arrive at the arena and have Eric Bischoff tell you 5-10 minutes after 6 P.M. that you are off tonight.

The best wrestlers don't hurt anyone for real.

I know Seth Rollins is a CrossFit guy. I just think back to my days, and I don't know how I could have done CrossFit training and then wrestled that night.

If you're going to have a Hall of Fame, you've got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame.

I tip my hat to the long list of girls that have really taken wrestling up a notch.

My dad was always genuine with the fans and said, 'You must appreciate every single one of them,' and I always did. I always tried to make time for every autograph or every picture. What's an autograph? It's the simplest thing in the world.

The safety of my opponent was critical to me.

I know that Cena has a lot of detractors, but I'm very proud of him. He's a good hero.
Bret Hart -
I think it's hard to differentiate between your wrestling character and your real character - you kind of end up being both. I've always been my wrestling character in and out of the ring and in and out of the dressing room, and I was always really respected in the dressing room by the other wrestlers.
Bret Hart -
I owe a lot to Roddy Piper.

Something happened in 1997 that changed the whole industry, at least for the next five, six, or seven years. It wasn't about the 24-inch arms and the cartoon characters anymore. It was about the wrestling and what we were doing in the ring physically.
Bret Hart -
You can take your Jake Roberts and your Hulk Hogans and your Ultimate Warriors and a lot of these guys that were big names back then, but they never did anything for me. They never helped me, they never thought of helping me, and when they had a chance to help me, they never did.

If you've got the confidence and the work ethic, you can make any dream come true.

My heart was always dedicated to giving fans around the world the best match possible, and the fans grew with me.
Bret Hart -
Wrestling fans dictate policy; they really do. What direction each wrestler takes usually revolves around what the fans think of them.
Bret Hart -
You can't just think up a move in your head and go, 'Okay, I'll just pick somebody up, and I'm just going to throw them backwards into the post.' You have to think, 'Would you want someone to do the same thing to you?'
Bret Hart -
Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head and ended my career because he didn't know what he was doing.
Bret Hart -
The importance of hard work was a message I learned from my parents, and that is something I worked to pass on to my kids and grandchildren. Winning is important, and you should want to win, but the main priority is to strive to be the best.

If you watch punches, kicks, and moves where there is contact, Cody Rhodes is one of the best.
Bret Hart -
There's a lot of talent out there that miss their opportunities, and I just hope that AJ Styles doesn't waste his life in TNA.
Bret Hart -
When you're a kid, you always think about your parents, and I still do. I try to lead with the same example that they set.
Bret Hart -
Cesaro is a guy who does a lot of unique stuff and is a great talent. He does a lot of strong-man stuff that is just impressive to watch.
