My uncle was a second father to me. I spent most of my childhood with him.

It just goes to show, if you remain focused and you have a dream and you have a desire to do something, then no matter what gets in your way, you can never lose hope. It's possible.

I'm enjoying life at my fullest. Sometimes you realize that money isn't everything.

I think titles are important to your career. Whether you reign as champion for a long time or just have it for the time being, to be part of a company and be their champion is always good to have on your resume.

I would never intend to hurt anyone I'm in the ring with. It's entertainment, it's a performance, it's a sport.

We never had a trampoline, but I wished I did. We'd sneak into a friend's pool and use their trampoline to practice backflips.

When you're young, you don't really think about what's going on. At least, in my case, I was always so hooked on being so innovative and didn't worry about what happened yesterday. I just wanted to focus on today and make it better. I was like that every day. I just made sure that every night I was at my best, at the best level I could be.

When you're in WWE, it's a part of that contract signing, that grind. You're on-call 24-7. That's why you become the star that you are.

That's one of the reasons why I left WWE: not to feel tied up or pressured into fulfilling a certain number of work dates throughout the week or month - because of my injuries.
