If you come from WWE, you have a thick skin because you're hated on all day, every day.

When I was a kid growing up, I ate my vitamins, worked out because Hulk Hogan told me to.

In my very first Wrestlemania match, I won. 17 wins from tying the Undertaker. Don't laugh.

I was just a young kid from Parma, Ohio, and I went to college at Miami University of Ohio.

My success, I think it is due to the Mizanan family. Everyone in my family is a hard worker.

Whenever I do a movie I always like to base my character off of a couple different characters.

I'm actually even thinking of stealing the Walls of Jericho and turning in into the Walls of Miz.

I think that is where my success lies - for whatever I lack in talent, I make up for in hard work.

I mean, it blows me away that I have fans or I have people that know me in Iraq that are protecting me.

I wanted to be the dad that was able to feed my daughter, hold my daughter, really be there for my daughter.

I remember seeing an action figure of The Rock and going, 'You know what? I'm going to become a WWE Superstar.'

I think it's my motivation and my dedication to prove everyone wrong whenever they tell me I can't do something.

When you're in WWE and you're in front of 16,000 screaming fans booing you or cheering you, you only have one take.

That WWE Championship should be in the main event of every pay-per-view, and it upsets me when I see that it's not.

I think when you come from a reality show, nobody really respects you from the movie industry or from the WWE industry.

A coward is not someone who goes right to your face and tells you exactly how it is. A coward is someone who walks away.

I have all the accolades, all the experience, all the knowledge you could possibly want from a WWE number one draft pick.

Not many people get to say, 'I'm a WWE champion.' It's pretty incredible just to hear those words coming out of my mouth.

The 'Real World Challenges' were amazing. However, Hollywood, back when I was on reality shows, did not like reality shows.

Just heard who made who by ac/dc and asked a ry what movie? He had no idea. Disappointed. He will be doing my laundry today.

Daniel Bryan looks like he doesn't want the attention, but he does. He acts like he doesn't want the notoriety, but he does.

Whenever you're on a reality show, you're the scum of the earth. You have no talent, you're a nothing, and you deserve nothing.

Me, I never consider myself a bad guy. I consider myself a good guy. Now, the audience thinks differently. They love to boo me.

I surprised the hell out of myself when I got MVP for the 2018 All Star Legends Celebrity game. I had no idea I was going to get that.

I had Alex Riley out there as well and he's jumping up and down excited. You know, hugging me and the fans are going nuts and booing me.

It was so cute and she was so shy. Someone told me that Randy Orton went up and hugged her and she wouldn't let go. It was kind of cute.

Whenever something's really hard, you always question yourself, and I had many times when I questioned myself, but I always rose above it.

The Miz came in as a way to say exactly what I was feeling and not have any repercussions for it because it was a character I was playing.

You look at John Cena - whether you love him or you hate him, he always gets a reaction. Roman Reigns has that same aura, that same ability.

Even though I've accomplished so much in WWE as well as having a franchise in 'The Marine,' it's still not enough for me. I always want more.

The fact is I'm always going to have naysayers. You're always going to have haters. It really doesn't bother me because I just rise above it.

The thing about being on a reality show is you'll never get respect. You're living your life on television. You're not doing anything special.

I am awesome. I'm the most must-see WWE superstar: I'm proven inside the ring and outside the ring. I'm the best on the mic; I get the ratings.

Just because I'm confident and will tell you that I'm awesome and that I'm great, I'm all of the sudden the bad guy? Why am I always the bad guy?

When you are an elite talent, you cannot allow anyone that comes into your 'eliteness' and take you down. You have to make them rise to your level.

I am sick of people sitting there saying, 'Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz.' He doesn't deserve to be in the ring with me. He's not at the level that I am.

I didn't want to be the 40-year-old still on MTV doing 'Real World.' I loved the show. I loved the people on it, but I had a different set of goals.

The man who will be the future of the WWE. He will be right under me. He is the man, he is the myth, he is the legend, soon to be.. he is, Alex Riley.

I know how to make myself very, very cocky and annoying. That's my character. I enjoy doing it. People hate it. But I don't mind it when people hate it.

People always sit there and talk about 'Talking Smack.' They always bring up the incident of 'Talking Smack.' What did I do on there that was so terrible?

He also knows what king of protein I like, what T-shirts I like, how I like my dry cleaning to be done. He also knows how I like my stuff folded and put away into drawers.

I'm the type of person that likes to give people a hard time, and I enjoy doing little pranks. If I see someone getting a little aroused I have to keep pushing that button.

I was on 'Monday Night Raw' - and nobody realizes this - every time you go from 'Raw' to 'SmackDown' or 'SmackDown' to 'Raw,' it shakes up your career; it shakes up your life.

Believe it or not, a lot of people watch social media. I have 1.5 million people on Instagram, 2.5 million people on Twitter: that is how many people are watching whatever I do.

I will let my daughter do whatever her heart wants. I will support her and guide her and give her all the knowledge that I have because I want her to succeed in whatever she loves.

The reason I wanted to be a WWE Superstar was because of The Rock. I used to watch him in The Attitude Era. There was no one more electrifying and no one more must-see than The Rock.

You have to know what your talent is, and you have to exploit it. And then, while you're exploiting that talent, you find ways and tools to elevate other sides of you that are weaker.

I remember the first time I stepped into a WWE ring, and I got critiqued, and I was told I'd be gone in three months. Here I sit ten years later, and I'm the Intercontinental champion.

Sometimes you have go into a movie and develop a certain type of chemistry with your co-stars. Sometimes it can click from "Hello" and other times it takes a few weeks to develop that.
