To me, 'The End of the Jews' - both the title and the novel itself - is about the end of pat, uncritical ways of understanding oneself in the world.
Since FDR's New Deal, corporations and wealthy families have been non-stop finding new ways to get tax breaks, deregulation and entitlements from the government.
I have not held a singles title in New Japan or Ring of Honor, whether that's the TV title or the world title or something else.
There is nothing more unpleasant than watching someone on a TV or movie set act like they are entitled to a particular kind of treatment just because they have been doing it for longer. We are all in the same boat - one job at a time.
I know that I am not entitled to anything, and when somebody thinks they are, that's a step in the wrong direction.
Every time you feel entitled, you're making a mistake.
My mother is a Chitrapur Saraswat from Mangalore and half-Telugu, and my father is a Bohri Muslim. My mother's father, J Rameshwar Rao, was the Raja of Wanaparthy, a principality of Hyderabad. He was influenced by the socialist movement and became the first Raja to give up his title.
Love to Jesus is a sure title to the greatest possible happiness; for Jesus is omnipotent and has determined to make his friends happy, and surely will not forget a single one in whose heart is enkindled one spark of love.
When you first start playing, that's your aim obviously, to win the world title.
I like to think I won't change as a person, even if I go on to win 20 world titles. I will still be just a working-class lad from the Potteries, the same daft old me.
