I'm taking the name The Situation and I'm... like, I don't know, I'm turning it into The Corporation or something.

There's enough Situation to go around.

I actually love to give back.

I'm really grateful for all the support from my fans.

Everybody loves me, babies, dogs, yah know, hot girls, cougars.

I love being an entertainer. It's almost been a lifelong journey to find out what I wanted to do.

If you don't go the gym, you don't look good. If you don't tan, you're pale. If you don't do laundry, you don't got no clothes.

My license plate I did get registered, and it is S-I-T-C-H... so that's pretty cool.

People are so happy to meet me. Stars come up and want to take their picture with me.

Every day when I wake up, I gotta go to the gym.

On the 'Jersey Shore,' people got a glimpse through a keyhole of who I really am. But the world really started to see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' I am not the best dancer. That was never my strong point. But I wanted to let people know, hey, this kid is risking a lot just to know a different side of him.

I can play many roles, a guy who takes on a challenge on very short notice with potentially damaging results, if I make the wrong move... I shoot for the stars. If I get the moon, I'm OK with that.

The way you see me on 'Jersey' is a snapshot, and you can't judge from a snapshot.

The real Mike is somebody who is a positive person, a generous person. A loyal person. Somebody that's gonna help you if you call me up and say, 'Mike, I got a flat tire.' I'm there, you know?

In the beginning of 'Jersey Shore,' for sure, that was the real Mike. That's the Mike that I know, that's the Mike I love. And that's the Mike I strive to be every day.

In the beginning of my career, everybody knew it, it was no secret that I loved the spotlight. I basked in it. And then all of a sudden, I turned into this person who was reclusive, or hiding.

I love a challenge.

I'm just saying that being in this business is not easy, and it's definitely not for everybody.

It's very hard for me to write back to some of the fan mail, so one of the things I wanted to do was reach out through a book.

The Situation has mass appeal.

I'll be the first one to tell you if I made a mistake.

I'll be the first one to tell you if some girl turned me down.

I'm good in front of the camera in terms of speaking or entertaining or being humorous, but when it comes to dancing, you really got to know your stuff in order to be confident. You can freeze up or get stiff, and it's just not a good situation.

I'm in constant battle with MTV to see where the line falls. You know, the things I do and say and the things they profit on and the things I profit on.

I always had dreams, my whole life, of being somebody special. Someone out in the world that everybody knew of and everybody liked. Somebody unique. Even when I was down on my luck, in my head I still had those dreams.

Sometimes in people's lives, when bad stuff happens, their dreams just die, and they end up settling. I guess that's their decision, maybe, because they didn't believe in their dreams or forgot their dreams. My dreams never died.

Losing is not an option for me.

I understand that there's going to be a shelf life for 'Jersey Shore.'

When you see The Situation in person, it can startle some people.

Everybody when they're little wants to be on billboards or on TV.

I like Armani Exchange, Guess, Rock & Republic. There's a lot of places. I'm not too picky. I like to be trendy, and I like to look good.

Everyone knows that I have abs.

There's a single with D.J. Class and Fatman Scoop - I'm not going to claim to be a singer, but my voice is in it and the song is technically about me.

I work very hard on my body, and I'm not just known for my six-pack or my body. I also believe that I have pretty good camera presence.

It is a part of my personality, but not the full circle. That character that you see is 'The Situation.' It's not Michael Sorrentino. You're seeing 'The Situation,' almost like Clark Kent and Superman.

Everybody goes through their own tribulations in life.

There's only so long you can rule the reality world.

When you look at my astonishing physique you probably think to yourself, This kid must eat nothing but molten steel. That's a common misconception.

I am a real person with real fears, hopes and dreams.

I have so much respect for our troops.

I did 'Jersey Shore 6' sober, and you really just concentrate on yourself and just being the best person that you can be or be better than you were the day before.

I can speak a little Italian.

Miami has beautiful women, beaches and weather.

I don't really feel the need to defend myself for having a six-pack.

I used to be a fitness model.

I'm worried about taking care of myself and working out and taking my body to the best it could be.

At the end of the day, stick up for yourself whether you have spiky hair, long hair, blonde hair, black hair, whatever it is, stick up for yourself and go for your dreams because at the end of the day, you can pretty much accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.

All the girls in Australia are hot.

I will eat a hot dog but I'm not big into hot dogs.

I am a boxer-brief man.
