opposed
I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.
decided life
I was a little, skinny, runt kid, and I decided that bowling was what I was going to do in life.
destroy example people sane understand
I do what I can to make young people understand that drugs can destroy their lives. I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit.
best
I'd like to think I haven't done my best yet.
Let me just say, I've seen a pub or two.
assume forward looking monogamous successful
I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility.
fame
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
biking cardio early empty generally morning wake
For me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o'clock, and I'll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I'll go train.
audience comedy loudest night people
Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
food forgotten growing time
I'll never, ever be full. I'll always be hungry. Obviously, I'm not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it, 'Once you've ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you'll never, ever be full.'
game meant whatever whether
I didn't have to win, and winning wasn't important to me. Being world champion wasn't important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience, and whether that meant winning, losing, singing, or whatever it was on the live show we were doing every week, which was awesome, I was game for it.
course multitude protein regime
Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
cracks grew opportunity wide
I grew up where, when a door closed, a window didn't open. The only thing I had was cracks. I'd do everything to get through those cracks - scratch, claw, bite, push, bleed. Now the opportunity is here. The door is wide open, and it's as big as a garage.
hard
I like to use the hard times in the past to motivate me today.
