I think competition is the best thing for everyone. Competition is what makes us evolve, from when we were itty bitty little tadpoles in prehistoric times to what we've turned into now. Competition makes us evolve and makes us push ourselves better.

I am able to carry storylines. When you're good at what you do, you're going to work. That's a good thing. But from the standpoint of being an attraction, sometimes too much isn't good. So it's a difficult fine line.

I think, quite frankly, I have been on TV too much, but part of it is necessity, and part of it's ability.

I think a natural evolution for me would be to try to transfer over into the film and TV world and start playing different characters. Hopefully, that way, I can keep entertaining my fans that are fans of me, in different avenues and different spotlights. It's a natural evolution.

I'm kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none.

People always talk about my heel/face turns. One of the jokes in America is I've had more turns than NASCAR.

I've never been a guy to sit back and look at all my trophies and look at all my awards; that's not me.

Nobody beats Superman. Everybody else needs a costume - Superman needs a costume to be normal.

You always have to embrace your size.

I liked being the monster that was bigger than everybody around me.

I never thought I'd be good enough. I really didn't. There's probably some fans out there who say I'm still not good enough, and that's OK.

I was a big kid and a big athlete, but let's be honest: I don't know diddly about football.

I'm really impressed with Sheamus. The thing about Sheamus is he's very, very physical. He's a brawler. He's strong, he's hungry, and if he's smart, he'll learn to avoid my right fist.

The Attitude Era was so great because you had the best collection of superstars of any one time period. You had The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Mick Foley.

The Internet connection from the road can be spotty, so usually when I'm on the tour bus, I'm playing 'God of War.'

I'm a big 'Call of Duty' fan, and I used to play a lot online while I was in the bus, but I hate to be the guy who is lagging everybody out.

When I walked down the ramp and stood in the ring, I made other big guys look small.

I think, for me, I really looked at nutrition, talked to some people who knew a lot about nutrition, looked at different meal plans... calorie intake and what I was trying to do. I started slowly. I didn't start as a 'diet.' I started as a lifestyle change.

For so many years of my career, I was The Big Show. So in the back of my mind - whether it was 'fat' or aesthetically not pleasing or whatever crap people want to sling around - I enjoyed being The Big Show. I enjoyed being 450 pounds.

Let's face it. My dad was a mechanic, and my mom was a cop: my college options in seventh grade didn't look that great. And the chance I got to go to college and experience college life is something that's pretty precious to me.

At 12, I was, like, 6-2. At 13, I was, like, 6-5 or 6-6. I had always stuck out as a bit of a freak, so athletics gave me a chance to make friends and, I guess, find my 'cool' vibe, if there's such a thing when you're in high school.

Wichita's a fun place. It's a great place to go to school. It's a big university, but at the same time, it's not too big.

I started out thinking I was going to play in the NBA; now I travel the world as a WWE Superstar. Life changes.

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.
