Not a lot of people get into Brock Lesnar like I did. Brock is every bit as intimidating as you'd imagine he would be times two. No, I mean, he's a shaved gorilla. It's just, he's stronger than strong. I don't even think he even realizes how strong he is.

Talent is one of the few things that can't be created. It can be enhanced - it can be coached and brought out of people - but you can't deny it.

You've got some very unique individuals in the WWE, and it's a completely different nexus on 'SmackDown' than it is on 'Raw.'

I think something that escapes a lot of people is my entire career... I call myself the 'often unwanted' because when I got to Ring of Honor, I was told it was supposed to be one-off deal.

I think when you are dealing with Brock Lesnar, you have to show up ready to deal with Brock Lesnar. Brock is the type of guy who is not going to give you an inch. If you are going to get anything from him, you have to take it, and he's going to dare you to take it.

I think Conor McGregor is a promoter, and I'm not here to promote any of his fights. If he were here in WWE, that would be a different story, but until that happens, I don't feel like I need to address it.

If Kurt Angle's leg fell off, he'd hop twice as fast to make up for the loss of mobility, man. There's no quit in him.

It was not very difficult for me to adjust in WWE because of my previous experience. Stylistically, this company is quite different from other promotions, but adapting to it is part of the job.

Obviously, when you come to WWE, the level of spectacle and production in what we do is far and above anywhere else I worked, so it's kind of cool to be a part of the big show now.

If I do foray more into writing comic books, I definitely would hope that my acceptance is based more on my ability to write than my ability to schmooze my way in as a celebrity.

It's always a benefit to have the fans kind of salivating at the thought of your debut, of you changing over brands.

In your career, to walk away champion of the Greatest Royal Rumble would be something people will take with them for a lifetime.

John Cena is a name I will never forget, and in the Royal Rumble, he will be the first man that I eliminate.

Myself, there's people saying, 'He'll never find himself in the halls of WWE.' It's a narrative that's fueled more by secondhand fan myth than what people feel.

I'm not worried about my WrestleMania dream. Trust me. I'm showing up at WrestleMania, and when I do, it's going to be a problem for everybody.

I've been at the table with some really great poker players. I'm sure Vince McMahon is a hell of a poker player.

If you are going to do things in your life and be responsible for your career, then be responsible for your career. You are responsible for your success.

After I made my initial debut at NXT 'TakeOver,' they looked at the interest and merchandise sales and decided I would be better signed full time than not.

I relish any chance to punch A.J. Styles in the face, because he's a man I respect greatly. And I find that I want to punch people in the face that I respect greatly. I like to say it's an island thing, but it's not: it' just something that I like doing.
