I've always just introduced myself as Adam Copeland. I never really thought too much about it.

One of the amazing things about acting now is that you can try different things and have choices.

Every time I get an injury or suffer from a personal setback, that's exactly what I do: I persevere.

You can put me in a cage, on a ladder, in any kind of match, and I will persevere. I will find a way.

With WWE, it's a massive machine, and you will air in 120 countries and have action figures and towels.

I always hated that 'You Think You Know Me' music because it never fit me and what I actually listen to.

The Rated-R Superstar was usually a vile and horrible human being who had some moments of being a good guy.

I was one of the innovators of the TLC Match; some would arguably say that I am the master of the Ladder Match.

2001 King of the Ring? I really like the sound of that! That REEKS OF ROYALTY! So begins the ERA OF AWESOMENESS!

I'm 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, which is average size in WWE, but in the world of television and movies, it's huge.

I can't physically put someone over, but I can feel very confident in my ability to tell a story through a promo.

I really enjoyed working with Rey Mysterio when we were up against Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit and The Guerreros.

I haven't even seen you successfully talk to a woman since I've known you, unless of course, you count Alex Riley.

Sometimes, taking a break and going somewhere else and, almost, for both parties, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I wasn't a Superman guy - I didn't like the invincible superhero who always wins. Who can get behind someone like that?

I just wanted to let all our fans know that there is nothing to be alarmed about because our faces are 100% .....Ass Free.

I had a long career that started when I was 17. I wrestled for 20 years, so people forget how long I actually wrestled for.

It was a no-brainer for me to go on 'Mind of Mencia,' I think. And actually, it was a lot of fun. It was a really good time.

Wrestling pretty much consumes my thoughts. I think for people that are really successful in this business, that's the way it is.

Well, Drew. Makes you feel any better. There's one thing that Kelly and this title have in common. They'll never be seen with you.

I wrestled my guys growing up. I've wrestled with Hulk Hogan. I've wrestled against Shawn Michaels. I've wrestled against Ric Flair.

From a backstage perspective, one of the things I always tried to do in wrestling was maintain that I was Adam. Edge was a character.

Well folks, what do you think? Here's our choices.. Should I give Paul Bearer back to Kane? Should I shove Paul Bearer down these steps?

'Vikings' is a very physical, tough show. If you see battle scenes, it's us doing it. There are so many similar physical elements to WWE.

One of the only things that bothered me with WWE and being on every week was blowing off so many great storylines so fast, just out of necessity.

There are elements of myself in every character I do, just because you take from your real life experiences and sprinkle those into your character.

Obviously, being WWE Champion was my main goal in life, but when I started acting, the main thing I wanted to do was play a superhero or supervillain.

My whole idea, to me, is if you're a heel in wrestling, you should not having a band playing for when you come out and people will react in a positive way.

I suppose ultimately I'm interested in music. I'm a musician. I'm not a gunslinger. That's the difference between what I do and what a lot of guitar heroes do.

As glamorous as WWE may seem, you're probably eating at a Waffle House at 1 in the morning, and you're probably going to see the Ring of Honor guys there, too.

I can excel in any situation, and like I've said, I'm not pro-WWE or anti-ECW - I'm pro-Edge. I don't care about promotions; I care about myself, plain and simple.

Sometimes styles don't translate. Rey Mysterio was a master of doing that. No matter where he went, Rey could make his style adapt. But not everyone is Rey Mysterio.

Ahh, Otunga. I hope you keep depending on your wife. I hope she keeps making movies because while she's walking the red carpet, you're gonna be walking the unemployment line.

I saved everything, all my gear over the years: my trench coats and stuff that I have saved. It is all packed away nicely and neatly in vacuum-sealed bags and all that stuff.

Being at Wrestlemania 6, I remember being completely in shock and dumbfounded when Hulk Hogan missed the leg drop and Warrior hit the splash and got the 1-2-3. I was devastated.

I had no aspirations after wrestling. I truly just assumed I would retire, grow a big beard, sit on my deck, and figure out what was next. If it was nothing, I was OK with that.

I am not a video game guy at all. Once it got past Super Mario Bros. and past two buttons, they lost me. I was like, 'I do not have the abilities to be able to do this. It doesn't work.'

Once the second season of 'Haven' rolled around, I really started to attack this acting thing and finally admitted, 'OK, I'm an actor now. This is what I'm doing. This is my new career.'

There's not too much Edge in Adam Copeland, but there's a little bit of my sarcasm and my sense of humor, I guess, but I'm not a sleazy, raving maniac like the character of Edge could be.

With Undertaker and I, we only had one singles match leading up to WrestleMania XXIV, and we realized we had something. We knew going into WrestleMania it was going to be cool. And it was.

I think deep down inside, most of the bad guys want to get cheered - I don't. I want absolutely everybody in there to hate me, and that's the mentality you need to have to be a successful heel.

Now little kids come to my front door and give me cookies. You see that smile on their face, they're looking at me the same way I used to look at Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart, and that's pretty cool.

I fought the social media thing kicking and screaming. It can demystify. But it's a different world now, and that is part of what we, as humans, have developed: right, wrong, good, bad, I don't know.

For me, body art is all about expression; it's a lifestyle and can serve as a reminder that when my career is done, I'll have a story to tell on my body. And it will be my story of my life on my body.

I always looked at it as, the character of Edge gives me complete free reign with no borders, where you can get away with anything, just a complete... no social qualities, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

When I was growing up, I had three channels, and I didn't know what happened in the Philippines instantly if it happened. Now you can be on the Internet and find out what's going on in Zimbabwe. It's changed.

I have stupid neck. Look it up. You can look up 'stupid neck,' and it'll probably be a picture of my neck. Just do me a favor. Look it up, and you'll realize that the WWE will never clear me to compete again.

I was never stupid with my money, because I grew up without it. So when I started to make some, I was like, 'Okay, first rule of thumb, I'm not buying it unless I've got the money to buy it,' so I have no debt.

The only time I have exchanged gear with someone was with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 24. I gave him my kick-pads and my tights from that, and I got his gloves. It is pretty cool. I am glad I got that memory.

I think WrestleMania 17, everything's subjective, but if it's me, that's the best card and the best pay-per-view ever and just because of the totality of it. From opening match to last match, everything delivered.
