Diversity makes us better and allows us to grow, which is what I want for WWE.
— Big Show
I've had a great career and had a lot of fun.
Miami is always my favorite town to work because it's a short drive home.
People love storylines. They love them because at some point, the talent will get people emotionally invested.
I was trained by Terry Taylor and Triple H. Triple H always hated when I say that.
You don't want to have a fast career for two years. You want to have an amazing career for 20 years.
The Internet is filled with so-called experts who couldn't lace up a pair of boots.
I want to make myself more marketable. Well, in order to do that, I need to lose some weight.
I'm an emotional person. Anger and frustration comes out in many ways... I'm not afraid to hug my friends that I love, and I'm not afraid to express my emotions when I'm upset.
I think competition is the best thing for everyone. Competition is what makes us evolve, from when we were itty bitty little tadpoles in prehistoric times to what we've turned into now. Competition makes us evolve and makes us push ourselves better.
I think a natural evolution for me would be to try to transfer over into the film and TV world and start playing different characters. Hopefully, that way, I can keep entertaining my fans that are fans of me, in different avenues and different spotlights. It's a natural evolution.
I've never been a guy to sit back and look at all my trophies and look at all my awards; that's not me.
I liked being the monster that was bigger than everybody around me.
I'm really impressed with Sheamus. The thing about Sheamus is he's very, very physical. He's a brawler. He's strong, he's hungry, and if he's smart, he'll learn to avoid my right fist.
I'm a big 'Call of Duty' fan, and I used to play a lot online while I was in the bus, but I hate to be the guy who is lagging everybody out.
For so many years of my career, I was The Big Show. So in the back of my mind - whether it was 'fat' or aesthetically not pleasing or whatever crap people want to sling around - I enjoyed being The Big Show. I enjoyed being 450 pounds.
Wichita's a fun place. It's a great place to go to school. It's a big university, but at the same time, it's not too big.
A lot of U.K. wrestlers are very good at chain wrestling, telling a story through holds, while American wrestling is a little more flashy, with lots of high-spots.
I think I'll always have a home in WWE.
The best match I've ever been in match-wise, I wrestled The Undertaker in France in a coliseum that was built in 300 A.D. by the Romans. It was the most amazing match I've ever been in.
I'm a little worried because I've heard that Shaq has got, like, really fat. If he's going to go into WrestleMania bigger than me, I'm going to lose my moniker as 'The World's Largest Athlete.' I hope he is well. I hope he is healthy.
Arn Anderson - I loved 'The Enforcer' Arn. He cut the best promos. He always looked cool because he had that Polo with the rope chain, the rose-colored glasses, and that mean beard.
There is nothing that anyone can stop you from doing if you really want.
The Undertaker is the John Wayne of our business. I watched him come out and deliver some of the best matches night after night.
Defining moments are the moments that either define you, or you define the moment.
I don't think anyone really knows me.
I am able to carry storylines. When you're good at what you do, you're going to work. That's a good thing. But from the standpoint of being an attraction, sometimes too much isn't good. So it's a difficult fine line.
I'm kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none.
Nobody beats Superman. Everybody else needs a costume - Superman needs a costume to be normal.
I never thought I'd be good enough. I really didn't. There's probably some fans out there who say I'm still not good enough, and that's OK.
The Attitude Era was so great because you had the best collection of superstars of any one time period. You had The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Mick Foley.
When I walked down the ramp and stood in the ring, I made other big guys look small.
Let's face it. My dad was a mechanic, and my mom was a cop: my college options in seventh grade didn't look that great. And the chance I got to go to college and experience college life is something that's pretty precious to me.
I started out thinking I was going to play in the NBA; now I travel the world as a WWE Superstar. Life changes.
One of the first media tours I did was with The Rock - no one knew who I was, as I had just come from WCW; they thought I was The Rock's bodyguard.
I love representing WWE, like, with Make-A-Wish, Be a STAR, Special Olympics.
I used to do an impersonation of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in a romantic relationship.
WWE is home; it's a family. I'll always be a part of this as long as I can contribute in some positive way. But I know there's a time when the sun sets on everything.
Not everybody is going to be John Cena. Not everybody is going to be The Rock. You need to be what you can be and contribute like you can.
There is nothing more powerful in the world than the human spirit and the human will.
I have a self-deprecating sense of humor, so I knock myself.
The way I look at it, I'm more of a man because I'm in touch with my emotions. I think people that deny their emotions are pretty weak individuals, if you want my honest opinion.
That's why John Cena was No. 1 for so many years. Because every time John got in the ring with somebody, he made them better than they were.
I think, quite frankly, I have been on TV too much, but part of it is necessity, and part of it's ability.
People always talk about my heel/face turns. One of the jokes in America is I've had more turns than NASCAR.
You always have to embrace your size.
I was a big kid and a big athlete, but let's be honest: I don't know diddly about football.
The Internet connection from the road can be spotty, so usually when I'm on the tour bus, I'm playing 'God of War.'
I think, for me, I really looked at nutrition, talked to some people who knew a lot about nutrition, looked at different meal plans... calorie intake and what I was trying to do. I started slowly. I didn't start as a 'diet.' I started as a lifestyle change.
At 12, I was, like, 6-2. At 13, I was, like, 6-5 or 6-6. I had always stuck out as a bit of a freak, so athletics gave me a chance to make friends and, I guess, find my 'cool' vibe, if there's such a thing when you're in high school.
