I love sweets. Like, every week of my life, I've had a cheat day.
For some reason, the fans got behind me, and I don't know exactly why that is. I wasn't supposed to main event WrestleMania XXX, but the fans were so vocal about it that the fans had no choice but to put me in the match. I've had a lot of lucky breaks.
Wrestling is different to me. As I talk to other wrestlers, wrestling seems a little different to me than it does to a lot of them. To me, it's about an artistic performance and about honing my artistic performance in pursuit of these minute moments of perfection. These little encapsulations. And none of them are ever perfect.
I think whatever you have in your life, my opinion is that if you know that there's something wrong, you try to fix it.
Sometimes, things just fall into your lap, and that's pretty incredible.
I don't want to live my life to entertain other people. I have other things that I'd like to do.
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.
My wife and I are very blessed. I am very grateful for the life that we lead.
A lot of people thought you couldn't be a top-level athlete as a vegan, but people like Mac Danzig and Jake Shields are proving that's wrong. And it's better for me as a performer.
My diet is very kale-heavy. It's so nutrient-dense. I stay away from fake processed stuff.
You have to realize that a lot of life is just fortune and the ebbs of flows of what goes on.
Sometimes there's cities where it's just hard to find healthy food. You just have to be prepared.
I loved playing football, but I hated the games because it's a lot of pressure. I just loved putting on the pads and hitting my friends.
I wasn't a great athlete.
Every year, I say the Seahawks are going to win the Super Bowl. There's no doubt in my mind every single year. And you have to keep in mind this was well before the Seahawks were good. This was, like, 2-14, drafting-Rick-Mirer Seahawks. I would still be saying they were going to win the Super Bowl.
My mind thinks in wrestling. As I'm thinking of things and my mind is being creative, it constantly keeps going back to wrestling. That's my inspiration, and to not be able to express that puts me in a spot where I almost don't know what to do with myself.
I feel like a lot of fans would like to see me with the heavyweight championship.
Miz and I have known each other for a long time, and we really know, like, how to get at each other's nerves.
What we do is entertainment. We entertain people. Sometimes we inspire people, but sometimes we are just a way to fill their time.
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.
