With wrestling, you can't describe how that connection with an audience happens. I can't teach anybody how that happens. The bad things that have happened to me in WWE have made that connection stronger.

One of the wonderful things about wrestling, to me, is that you can protect people who have had head injuries.

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.

My passion is the wrestling.

Wrestling is more of a creative outlet, and especially for somebody like me, I view it as my creative outlet. Not all WWE superstars and not all wrestlers view it that way, but that's how I view it, and that's one of the ways my mind works creatively.

I don't want to be away from wrestling even a little.
