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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I had a great relationship with Vince McMahon.
