My confidence comes from my fights and my training.

You have to be a champion in all facets of life.

I went through a training camp; I worked extremely hard. I prepared for UFC 200. This was the big one. This one meant everything to me.

I've done nothing wrong. Some people just don't like me. Maybe I'm somebody that's easy to dislike, but I don't get it. Whatever. I'll do what I do.

Legacy does matter to me, and I want to leave a good one in MMA.

You can love me, you can hate me, but just don't be indifferent. Care about it enough to watch.

My confidence comes from knowing I do the right things in my life. I do the right things in the gym. I do the right things all together.

A lot of times, losing a fight is tough. In your darkest hours, I guess your true colors show.

You don't quit after you get beat. You pick yourself up, and you start rebuilding to accomplish your goals.

You don't get to the highest levels of the sport without having the basics in order.

It's very difficult to make a 100% turnaround. It's tough when you actually do exhibit patterns of bad behavior. You need to have a very strong support system of people who are willing to keep you in your place if you're going to overcome these things.

I've never really been a character on TV. I think, if possible, you want to portray yourself. If you're in a situation where you're supposed to react, you need to react.

When I was around nine, my parents took me to my first live event, which was a WWE show with Ultimate Warrior. From then on, I loved it.

I don't want to be away from wrestling even a little.

My favorite wrestler growing up was Dean Malenko. He was a very technical wrestler, and when I trained with Shawn Michaels, he wasn't that kind of a technical wrestler. So, when I finally met Regal in 2001, he was that kind of a wrestler, and all of a sudden, I could ask him things, and he would know what I was talking about and how to do it.

I am a big Seth Rollins fan and have been for a long period of time.

Being a bad guy is fun for me.

To me, the funnest part of wrestling is evolving. If you stay the same all the time, you're eventually going to be left behind.

I've been wrestling since I was 18 years old. And within the first five months of my wrestling career, I'd already had three concussions. And for years after that, I would get a concussion here and there, and it gets to the point that when you've been wrestling for 16 years, that adds up to a lot of concussions.

I've always thought Shawn Michaels's story is fascinating.

As you write about your life, there's a lot of things that you think about that you regret. It's interesting, because one of the things I regret the most is spending so much time focused on wrestling as opposed to focusing on my family.

I'd like to to do a major pay-per-view match with Seth Rollins. I'd love do a major pay-per-view match with Stardust.

My No. 1 dream match is Brock Lesnar. And I want that to be a WrestleMania match. I don't know if the WWE will ever let that happen, because they might be afraid he might legitimately hurt me pretty bad.

I didn't really grow up playing video games. I had an original Nintendo after the original Nintendo was cool.
