I was dating a guy that was a huge wrestling fan and I'm embarrassed to say it now but I used to make fun of him for watching it.

I owe a lot to my dad just for having provided the wrestling business for us to get into.

After wrestling with myself for six months I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car but that didn't last.

It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life a lot of my friends in the entertainment business and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay. Just to say something spiteful and hurtful I don't get it... if it was true and I was gay I'd embrace it and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it.

Nobody has wrestled everybody in the business like I have especially not Bret Hart.

I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

I had to weave and play around with a honey bear you know and I could wrestle with him a little bit but there's no way you can even wrestle a honey bear let alone a grizzly bear that's standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal.

I think the sport of wrestling which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34 kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.
