At the end of the day, I'm greatly appreciative of all the fans that I was able to acquire over the years.

It's always good to have other people who you can lean on and pick you up when you're down and vice versa.

My dream was to have a garage where I could put some of the coolest cars I've ever seen throughout my life.

All those guys wanna be us. All the fighters wanna be in professional wrestling; I don't care what they say.

At the end of the day, you have smart marks all over the world thinking that they know the outcome of a match.

At the end of the day, when you are in the front office, your tenure is dictated by the people surrounding you.

I am busy right now with my family, let alone all my other projects. It's an opportunity if it presents itself.

As a father, you want the best for your son, quite obviously. You want to create the best memories for your son.

At the end of the day, when two combatants get into the ring and/or cage, it's anybody's game, especially in MMA.

All of my cats are adopted and all show their gratitude on a daily basis. I don't know where I would be without them.

I am a competitor and always have that itch until the day I die, but I won't let the itch supersede being a businessman.

As a professional wrestler, it's not my position to be the booker, to formulate a match, unless you're asked to do that.

That feeling is one of the things that keep me going. On July 6, 1998, I became the WCW heavyweight champion of the world!

Hulk Hogan and I put 43,000 people in the Georgia Dome with three days' notice. I've got a fairly big following in Atlanta.

I think when Kevin Nash put himself on the booking committee and then gave me my first loss, that was beginning of the end.

If I put wrestling boots and wrestling trunks on one last time - and I'm going to - it's going to be done by me and me only.

As a father and an ex-wrestler, it's a dream come true. To be able to come back and be included in 'WWE 2K17,' it's a huge honor.

I'm sitting here with the Mets, and I get to throw out the first pitch. That's one of the coolest things in the world for anybody.

There's no question, I guarantee you, that you will see more NFL players getting into wrestling. They have the personality for it.

They don't pay me enough to take any racial abuse. If you come up to me and say something racially, I'm going to take your head off.

At the end of the day, leaving WrestleMania, having my hand raised, beating Brock Lesnar... I'd say it was a pretty successful tenure.

The Georgia Dome was my home field, brother. There's no question about it. I played my first football game there as an Atlanta Falcon.

What kind of moron would go to work for half the amount of money, when they could sit at home and collect what's written in a contract?

My hobby first and foremost is collecting automobiles. I have a fairly nice, finished 6,500-square-foot structure that I call my garage.

No matter how much money you make, no matter how famous you are, you're not above going outside and cutting trees. I do it all the time.

I've got a lot of people I'm carrying on my back, but it's a light load because I take a lot of pride in who I am and where I came from.

No, I don't have a feminine side. I've never been in touch with it. And the day I get in touch with my feminine side is the day I retire.

The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.

Free agency screws everybody's allegiances up. Whether it be football, baseball, hockey, basketball, whatever it may be. It's really hard.

It's a sad situation when you have to talk crap about other organizations that you know your paths are never going to cross competitively.

A guy like Ric Flair at 49 could go out and do his character. A guy 49 going out and doing Goldberg again - I don't know what the odds are.

If I'm the MVP of the NFL, and I lose a game and go to a press conference and walk out of it, that's not the example I want to set for people.

The cutthroat part of it is that professional wrestling has no union. There are a number of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis.

I picked up a lot watching Ultimate Fighting. I studied martial arts. But I had an idea to be different, to portray a character people would like.

I made the final decision to become a professional wrestler because I was able to look at Sting and what he was able to do inside and outside the ring.

Being a professional wrestler surely prepares you for any acting role in that we have to act on live television, so there's a lot of pressure put there.

I'm not saying everybody has to walk around with a six-shooter, but they have to be prepared. You don't have to be militarized, but you have to be ready.

The biggest thing about being a wrestler and being Goldberg gave me, was the ability to be a superhero for kids. I want the ability to be that guy again.

I don't think most of my hobbies would be surprising to anybody. I obviously like to spend a lot of time with my family. I like to train. I like to lift.

As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don't think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.

I believe in the simple things in life; everything derives from the beginning. You take things very simplistically and try to be the best person you can be.

I strive to be my best every time I go out, and that's very stressful. After a while of doing that... it's nice to just take a deep breath, sit on a tractor.

No, if there is an aspect of the executive branch of the government that needs looking at, I'm liable to be called in to look at it. But I'm not the only one.

I should think wrestling is the most positive thing in the world. The fact is, behind the scenes, there's stuff that goes on that's bush-league. It's laughable.

Go empower yourself. You need confidence because the one thing that bullying does is it belittles you, and it takes away your confidence, and nobody deserves that.

I had a great time in the NFL. To make it in the amount of time that I did was awesome; it's a dream come true, and hell, it gave me the opportunity to go wrestle.

You get hit by one of those right hands or an uppercut or a left hook by Mark Hunt, then you know that **** is on and that cage is locked, and there's nowhere to go.

The reality is that a lot of these bad things that happen in the wrestling business, 90 percent are because of certain people's egos. There's no question about that.

Everything emanates from the basics, from your base. If you don't have a strong base, I'm sorry, but you are always going to be coming back to it, trying to reattain.

Adam [Sandler] is a good basketball player, so he is a natural athlete, he worked with Sean Salisbury to make his footwork and delivery smooth, and he did a great job.
