Just traveling the world, and getting to live the highs and lows of what we do, makes you a better talent and a better performer.
Over time, your face hardens up and you just look more like a fighter.
I'm making a fresh start. That's another reason for the name change from Lord Steven Regal to William Regal here in the WWF.
Very few people get into that category of being a good grafter.
I always tell people this - when you start wrestling, don't forget that part you liked as a child. If you can keep a bit of that in your act, you can keep a bigger audience.
Daniel Bryan is one of the few people in the world I would stand toe-to-toe with in any situation and know that we would do the same for me.
I was the last of the British style that was a big thing in Japan.
I've never had a big role at any WrestleMania, but I've been at 11-odd. Just to be there is special - the week beforehand and all the promotions and stuff.
You find a lot out about people when they're blowing up, as we say, gasping for air, and if they can still hold conversations and be polite.
I want to keep all the comedy to interviews and outside-the-ring work.
Sometimes, you know how good certain people are and then you actually get to see them have the kind of matches you know they can have in front of an audience that isn't used to seeing that. Then, in a few minutes the audience is on the edge of their seats, just through the sheer craftsmanship of their abilities.
Above anything else - above family or job - the main thing is staying sober. That's because without being sober, I don't have a family.
I have a huge man-crush on Aiden English.
Something was causing me not to be able to sleep, and then after a while your brain doesn't want to turn off and go to sleep. And so it was constant battle with that. But as soon as I had the neck surgery, I started sleeping again.
The days of just being a generic, punch-and-kick wrestler are pretty much over.
I might not be the most whatever in the world but I've built credibility with the audience that means something. So, I can sort of have that thing about me and I always wear a nice suit as well, which is important.
I try to keep my own career in check, but when I came to America there were very few people wrestling.
I have only put my reputation on the line three times with people, Cesaro being one of them.
I don't want to watch phoney looking wrestling, nor does any of us anymore - we've seen too much of it.
With NXT there are always going to be a few people who are still developing because that's what NXT is, but that's really exciting because you get to see them thrown into the deep end.
