I owe my start in professional wrestling to the red-headed kid from 'The Partridge Family.' I was discovered by Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Hart, and Ric Flair in Chicago when I was introduced to those three gentlemen by Danny Bonaduce.

I'd love to wrestle Baron Corbin and Finn Balor.

When I came out in '95, even though it was part of the storyline, I was known as the next evolution of Andre, the next giant. I was that young, athletic, trash-talking monster. That was my introduction to the industry, and I was able to build on that.

There are a lot of projects I want to do with producing and acting outside of wrestling.

Professionally, John Cena has my respect more than anybody I've ever been around in the ring and out of the ring.

It's funny, I used to ask guys who were in shape all the time, like Triple H, 'What do you do?' It was hard to get information out of them, and I understand why now. When you take the time and do the research, it's more about what suits you, not what suits everybody.

I've always been a really hard critic of everything I do.

I can look at every one of my faults, see they're there, and go out and try to improve on it.

The toughest problem for us as giants is finding someone that we can work with and wrestle.

I have a lot of respect for Shaq. He's one of the greatest NBA centers of all time.

WrestleMania is one of those events where you want to put the most different, most extravagant, most exotic show you can out there.

Brock Lesnar is a guy who doesn't do a lot of live events, doesn't do a lot of house shows, but every time he steps in the ring, it has a big-fight feel.

There's a lot of trainers in my career, between Terry Taylor and Arn Anderson, who've always told me to keep my damn feet on the ring mat, and there's just that little kid in me - I may be 45, but there's that little kid in me that, if I get a chance to do some flying, I'm gonna do it.

I've wrestled some of the strongest, most athletic guys this business has ever seen. Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Mark Henry, Kane. These guys are phenomenal, phenomenal athletes and powerhouses.

Bam Bam Bigelow was an amazing athlete for his size.

You've got to have a mean streak to be a successful, big man.

I like to think, personally, that Shaq got scared. He saw the six-pack and realized if he faced me at WrestleMania, he was going to be Fat Shaq.

I wouldn't want to get Shaq's mom mad, I'll tell you that much. If she told me to do something, I would do it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't want her mad at me. That woman is serious.

I'm definitely saying right now that if I had to face Shaq's mom at WrestleMania, I will not show up. I'll be scared. If Shaq shows up, no problem. Shaq's mom shows up, eh, I don't know. I think I might get the flu.

You have to look in the mirror and really have an honest conversation with yourself and find the discipline to not eat things that don't agree with you.

I'm definitely looking to do more animation stuff.

I had a conversation with John Cena, and I told him, 'If only I could be a giant with abs,' and he said, 'Maybe you could be a giant with abs.' That kind of got me thinking that maybe John was onto something, because when it comes to obviously being successful and marketable, John is one of the smartest people I've been around.

Not by any means do I think that I'm The Rock or Mark Wahlberg. I understand that I'm not like them, being a leading guy, but I'm a great comedy sidekick, and, who knows, I can be in the X-Men or something.

Of course I will always be an ambassador for the WWE, so definitely anytime they need me for something, I'm only a phone call away.

Being a WWE superstar is about giving, and I think there's a few guys who get that.

WWE is a team. Out of the billions of people on this planet, the 75-80 men and women on the roster have the opportunity to call themselves WWE superstars. That's a very small percentage of people. They are in a position to be thankful.

I'm not under any pressure other than to go out and have fun.

I got to meet Hulk Hogan. He took a liking to me because of my size. He saw that I was a good athlete and could move. He told me at the time, he says, 'You got a big dollar sign in your forehead, kid,' and I said, 'Well, please show it to me, because I'm broke.'

No man can knock me out. I've been hitting my head with steel chairs in the WWE. I've never been knocked out in my life. And nobody can knock me out.

Standing toe to toe with another fighter, I could probably do well, but a smart fighter is not going to stand toe to toe with me, and they're going to move to a weakness.

Kane's gloves get pretty rank. He grabs you for a chokeslam, and you just want to faint.

I do a lot of gaming.

The only time I had an ego is I when wanted to have a reverse Undertaker record at WrestleMania, and they messed it up!

I've always prided myself on doing what really was best for business.

I have fun every day I go to work.

I've never been one of those guys who wants to put up titles and championships and run around and brag.

I'll be that guy who's 80 years old and still has a job. There is no 'retire' for me.

I start small. I'm kind to people. I say please, I say thank you, and I always try to be encouraging and positive.

Being able to give someone a hug from the heart, it's healing. It's healing for yourself and healing for others, and we need a lot of that.

I think that's one of the reasons why I've been able to have a great career for 20 years - because I'm able to adapt.

I think it's a good trade to have to be versatile, to be adaptable, and be dependable, and that's one of the things that has enabled me to have the long career that I've had. It's definitely not because I'm good looking!

Kane is one of the best big men of all-time.

It's real easy to talk about stepping in the ring, but once you do actually step in the ring, it takes a lot of courage and mental fortitude to do what we do.

I was a fan of 'The Jetsons' growing up.

I've had a blessed, blessed, fantastic career. I have no regrets whatsoever in my career.

I found a great trainer in Miami with Dodd Romero, who's worked with a lot of celebrities and athletes. We built a good program for me for training and for me to work on my nutrition and things like that.

I have a PS2 and Xbox and a GameCube: that way, in case anything comes out that looks cool, I have the system to play it on. I got everything, bro, I ain't no rookie.

Luther Reigns is a powerhouse.

The only way to get better is to wrestle better people and work with better guys; that's the only way to get better in our business.

So there are ups and downs, but the best is just the looks on people's faces when they meet me for the first time, because I am a real-life, walking, talking giant. It's not every day you see someone like me walking down the street.
