“Basically, Twitter can be your best friend or your worst enemy, and I try to make it my best friend and take it for what it is.”
“Pro wrestling is so physical and taxing and just hurts your body; it’s very aggressive entertainment.”
“I always look at stuff like ‘Mohawk’ this way: I don’t know if I’ll do it again, so I try to really enjoy what I’m doing at that time. So that’s what I did on ‘Mohawk,’ and I don’t know if I’ll do anything like it again – but I would love to.”
