I've never worn the same pair of shoes twice, ever. That's a fact.

That used to be what I grew up on - which is the Attitude Era, because you never knew what was going to happen next.

I would say that my forte is cutting the line. My entire life's work is me having zero patience and not waiting in a line.

Adrian Neville, who's my best friend, I rode with him on the road. He was the most crisp, athletic, poignant guy - never missed a step. It was insane. I had never seen anybody who could move in a wrestling ring like him; it was like second-nature to him. Flips - name it - agile jumping in and out of the ring effortlessly to the top rope like crazy.

I had a great relationship with Vince McMahon.

Most people say when they get on screen, the most successful acts are people who are just themselves and turn the volume up. But in my situation, I gotta turn the volume down.

My microphone skills were developed at a young age watching my dad on the microphone. My dad DJ'ed bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, things of that nature.

I travelled with Neville; he is my road dog. We travelled on NXT and FCW before that. He opened my eyes to a whole genre of music in reggae.

You finish the damn match, point blank, period. That's it, and I always finish, even if I'm finishing on my back.

I trained under Bill DeMott. I did a lot of my promo work with Dusty Rhodes.

I spent most of my days in school being a class clown. I never shut up. By the time I was in middle school, I had myself a personal aide.

Diesel coming down with shades, being seven feet tall with an all-black outfit on and the gloves; The Rock when he was wearing $800 Versace shirts; and Stone Cold, obviously, with the way he carried himself and the way he spoke and holding the microphone - these are the things that made me want to become a pro wrestler.

I'm just one of those guys that, when I'm going in, I'm going all-in. That's kind of the way you've got to be in this business that I'm in.

Any time I see an opportunity to get ahead, I take it.

In our business, it's hard to look at anything in retrospect and look at your accomplishments because you're so busy thinking about the next week. What we do is 52 weeks a year.

On the low, I've been in Kanye's studio, No Name, out in L.A.

As a kid growing up, I did idolize Chris Jericho at one point.

I've been heavily, heavily tuned into the DJ Khaled album, 'Major Key,' which has some major, major plays on it, up and down the line.

My affinity for fashion has always been there. When it comes to looking cool for the first day of school, I was always in it.

When I was young, a lot of the guys could sell themselves to me on the way to the ring with the way they acted and their mannerisms. Guys like Shawn Michaels, who I loved growing up. They were just loud. They didn't even need to say a word because they came out and had this crazy ring gear on.

I'm a walking, talking hypebeast, okay? Fresh Js on my feet every single week.

If you look back at my six-year run in the WWE, I never cursed on TV once, never cursed once.

You put a microphone in my hand on live TV, and that's just an opportunity for me to get ahead in life. That's the way I look at it.

A lot of what we do is built on trust, because basically, you go out there with a live mic on live television, and the WWE is putting their brand in your hands. Basically, they are entrusting you to go out there and to be a role model for children and keep everything that you are doing within the PG confines of this great brand.

I think the people you have to fear most in life are the people who dream with their eyes wide open.

I have tattooed on my hand the silver throwback mics from back in the day. My father used to have one of those when he'd lead people at the YMCA doing the cha-cha slide.

You can't put a cubicle on Enzo Amore. You can't put a cubicle around Eric Arndt.

I never was in a wrestling ring before I stepped foot into a WWE ring, so I am a product of NXT.

I loved all the wrestling going on in the ring - I wouldn't be into it as much if I didn't care about that - but I always had an infatuation with the performers and the entertainers.

I've been working with a lot of people out in Hollywood on writing scripts, screenplays, directing, producing, and making music.

There ain't no way the state of Delaware is gonna tell me how to sign my own license!

I don't talk to nobody. You know why? 'Cause if you ain't talkin' money, what the hell you talkin' bout?

The only vowel I'm concerned with is 'I.'

Listen: when you work for an employer for six years, are you gonna sit here and tell me you ain't gotta bad thing to say about them?

Make no mistake about it: when you're on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - on the road 300 days a year - you have to be a certain type of person.

I'm no saint.

Wrestling isn't real. The falls hurt, sometimes you get punches in the face, but it's not real. It's propaganda. Propaganda makes you the giant and me the small guy. Propaganda makes me the champion and makes you unworthy of a title shot.

I was in the business of marketing, and I have two Bachelor's Degrees in Political Journalism, and I wrote for the school newspaper at the time.

There ain't nobody who's got enough money to put my back in the ring.

Monday nights, it wasn't like, 'Mom, I want to watch Monday Night Raw.' It was like, 'Mom, put on Shawn Michaels.'

To know that a kid could come up to me in 20 or 30 years and say, 'Hey, here's a picture of us. I met you at a meet-and-greet, and I idolized you as a child. I'm a WWE Superstar, too, because you inspired me.' That's crazy to think, but it could happen. I made it, so if I can make it, anybody can.

When I was a kid, I got to meet Shawn Michaels at the Continental Airlines Arena, and I showed Shawn that picture.

I'm so glad I got an opportunity to meet Shawn Michaels, because he didn't let any of my expectations down. He's the coolest guy ever.

I would say Triple H is the biggest influence on my career. He's almost like a father figure. If I slip up, or there's a problem, he lets me know.

My name is an acronym for EA - EA All Day. It's a persona that I developed over the years in sports as a caricature of myself. On the field, in practice, in the weight room, I was just a character and a personality.

I lived, ate, breathed, slept Shawn Michaels. I wouldn't call it pro wrestling back in the day when I was a kid. I just called it Shawn Michaels.

I was a ball guy. I played basketball, baseball, football. I excelled in football the most. I played running back, wide receiver, safety, kick returner, punt returner.

I had a dream, and that dream kind of became a reality when I started taking steps toward it. You don't even realize what you're achieving as you're achieving it.

Enzo Amore, the guy you see on TV, existed in a gym in New Jersey long before he ever took to a TV screen.

We used to move pianos in New York City, and one time, it was, like, eight guys on a piano that was made of glass. We were moving it for Alicia Keys.
