Release your inner Kane.

I'm a real-life action hero.

I am really thankful for my career.

Really? My people do the same thing.

Everyday is a holiday when you're RVD

I have an incredibly dry sense of humor.

I am a professional when I get in the ring.

When it comes to X-Men, Ice Man is my favorite.

It's a small world? Dude, what have you been smoking?

I have an open door with WWE as far as wrestling goes.

I was told my style was supposed to give me a short career.

I don't enjoy the road life or WWE's really hectic schedule.

The battle royals are usually among my least favorite matches.

Anyone in the entertainment business, respectively, is a show-off.

I've impacted peoples' lives in such a way that they'll never forget.

I prefer ECW's style as far as the actual matches I'm capable of having.

You know, some people take peace of mind and confuse it with lack of passion.

The more exciting, flying wrestlers are not going to be your 300-pound wrestlers.

The energy from the fans in Boston is always something we can count on for support.

Samoa Joe is a good friend of mine, and I'm very impressed with his in-ring abilities.

It doesn't make you bad losing to Rob Van Dam... it just makes you like everybody else.

I grew up really being a comic book geek, and that was a really big part of my childhood.

If you're not in the WWE and bouncing around in the Indy shows, you're not with the best.

When I was with WWE, people would have me sign merchandise that I didn't even know existed.

I don't remember a Rob Van Dam versus Mick Foley hardcore match. There should have been one.

You have to believe in yourself and have to believe you are a little bit crazy to be the best.

A lot of celebrities are afraid of being out of sight, out of mind. I'm the complete opposite.

I've always been trying to do as little as possible, and I'm getting better at it all the time.

I'm a big fan of non-fiction, and I am a believer that fact is much more exciting than fiction.

Even when I'm not wrestling, I still appreciate all my fans. I take all the compliments to heart.

I've been so willing to stay strong and stick to my guns for so long when it comes to my beliefs.

I'm like the opposite of an 'office guy.' I don't want to be at the arena until right before my match.

I don't think all the other wrestlers hear the same love from the fans that I do - they are extreme about it.

It's very important to me I get my autobiography out before I die and someone else writes it and screws up my life.

In Total Nonstop Action, individual wrestlers have a lot more freedom to artistically express themselves versus WWE.

I've always taken care of myself, and I'm a non-conformist, so I don't accept the negativity that comes with birthdays.

I've had hundreds and hundreds of concussions, but I don't think that I have any permanent damage. A lot of my peers do.

For me, the fans missing me and wanting to see me on TV is very important, but the business end of it also has to be right.

I stretch for a full hour before a fight because I know I'm going to take a lot of punishment in the ring. That's my secret.

When I was In high school, I became interested in Greek mythology. I had to know all about the exact dates of all the history.

I'm a strong believer in modern medicine. I think it has its use in society. I think it adds longevity to our life expectancy.

I came into ECW in Philadelphia in 1996 and left in 2001 - a much bigger, worldwide star than I arrived - and I thank ECW for that.

I've never tried to be like anybody else. I'm a non-conformist in every way, and when it comes to wrestling, that's certainly true, too.

I'm a huge fan of mafia history - mostly the Italian mafia but also their associates, as well as Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang.

Since Sabu was the first guy that I was in the ring with professionally, we have the longest history in my career, and also, we were like minded.

Professional wrestling was almost like a secret society when I started, like a Mafia, and it would destroy the Sheik to see how much that has changed.

What you see is what you get. I'm the real deal. That's why I can step into the ring after having many months off and not have any rust. I'm still working out, stretching.

I really want to pop the crowd. I want to show off. That is the one thing that I've always loved about my career is I just want to show off. I always hated the storylines.

In any business that you pursue, if you belong at the top, and you're perceived as having that caliber, and you do qualify, then it's something that you want to hold on to.

I love a match like Money in the Bank; I love a hardcore match, and that's what the Money in the Bank ladder matches are. Throw the rule book out and let out your imagination.
