Quote by -Roddy Piper
I've been in 30 car crashes, none of 'em my fault, I swear on a stack of midgets... OK, they were probably all my fault.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
The bottom line is, don't be a lifer. Get in, get a business, get five years of what you can, and get out. What happens is they start listening to the promoters, 'You'll get the next main event.' And then, all of a sudden, you become a lifer. That's the kiss of death there. Get in shape, go in, get the money, get out, and have a wonderful life.

Quote by -Roddy Piper
I was trained by, at the time, the toughest man in the world. Not according to him, either. His name is 'Judo' Gene Lebell, and he trained Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris. He's the godfather of MMA.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
If you are the heel, and if you are doing your job right, you are most hated.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
Many hotels, I just sat there and - I call it the silent scream - I don't know why, you just sit there, and tears will just come down, and you'll just sit there for hours, man. There's no place to turn, and when you do turn, who cares? You're just a dumb professional wrestler.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
'Piper's Pit' was totally unscripted - everything just happened - thus, innovation was a challenging must to accomplish.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
You walk into an arena with 10,000 people and no security and everybody hating you, it takes some gumption.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
When I would go into Madison Square Garden, I wasn't the most popular guy. Madison Square Garden, there's 16,000 Puerto Ricans with knives and great radios and stuff.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
I was the first wrestler ever in the history of wrestling to star in a major motion studio picture that became #1 box office of the weekend, and that gave the itch to I don't know how many wrestlers.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
One time, I fought 90 fights in 90 days in 90 different places around the world. I didn't even know who I was: about 45 or 50 in, they just kept pushing me, and that's when I really get into a lot of trouble.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
If you've got some to say to Ric Flair, you come say it to me, and I'll make the translation.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
I've got a lot on my shoulders, but I've got the most beautiful family in the world.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
You never let somebody come from outside the business, have their way with the business, and then leave the next day and laugh at you. How the hell does David Arquette become World Champion?
Quote by -Roddy Piper
Bret Hart is my cousin, I'm told. Didn't know that until I was, I don't know, 28, 25.

Quote by -Roddy Piper
I put my heart into my career, and the people knew that I did that; and I went from being the most hated man to one of the best loved.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
I was going nine times a week. You get to a point where you don't really know who you are. You're running on high octane, and you'll take all comers in every arena because there was no police. Every arena, you'd take on everybody that would come in the ring.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
With Hulk, I don't agree with all his choices, but you know what, I don't hear people saying all the great things he does. When he was on the Wheaties box, all those kids that said their prayers and took their vitamins, I don't hear them saying that.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
Vince McMahon got really angry at me for leaving the WWE-F-G, whatever it is now.

Quote by -Roddy Piper
Real wrestling fans always knew Hogan couldn't wrestle. And he's not exactly an intellectual, either... The path he chose is very simple. He wears spandex in the airport. That's his identification as a man.
Quote by -Roddy Piper
It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life.
Quote by -Roddy Piper

Quote by -Roddy Piper
For years and hundreds of thousands of miles, I drove with one knee, with the eight-track and the light dome on in the car, and a yellow pad, just writing down random ideas. I had notebooks and notebooks. The next morning, I'd go, 'Whoa, what was I thinking?' But there'd be one or two ideas that weren't that bad.
