I've tried to reinvent myself from time to time, and I enjoy doing movies.
— Bill Goldberg
I've done drag races. I've done Long Beach Grand Prix stuff. I've done NASCAR stuff. Just about anything carwise under the sun, I've done. Whether it be driving schools or racing schools, I've had a passion for it for a long time.
I'm as passionate as any car owner or car collector that has one car or 300 cars.
I had creative control over my character, which means if they wanted me to do something that I didn't agree with, then I wouldn't do it. If it was good for the show, then I had no problem. If it was demeaning to the character and wasn't adding a positive light to the show, then I can guarantee that I wouldn't do it.
No, I don't have a feminine side. I've never been in touch with it. And the day I get in touch with my feminine side is the day I retire.
I tore my abdomen. That ended my football career, which was what I wanted to do my entire life, and when that was over, I pretty much looked to just about anything, but nothing really caught my interest.
I'm only as good as my next appearance and my next match.
I made the final decision to become a professional wrestler because I was able to look at Sting and what he was able to do inside and outside the ring.
The story behind 'Check Point' is what drew me in. The script had a couple of twists that I really did not see coming... To get out there and raise people's awareness, I think there's a big responsibility in that.
If I put wrestling boots and wrestling trunks on one last time - and I'm going to - it's going to be done by me and me only.
When you become a professional wrestler, your name becomes company property.
Let's be perfectly honest. I love Rock to death. We're all different people, but Rock's a showman.
Any time you're in front of a camera and have them yell 'Cut, re-shoot the scene,' are you kidding me? That's a huge advantage.
I'm wired differently.
I'm not saying everybody has to walk around with a six-shooter, but they have to be prepared. You don't have to be militarized, but you have to be ready.
At the end of the day, it's a very powerful voice when you're able to perform on any level on any stage and have the audience, have the attention of children. It's a gift. It's not to be taken lightly, and it can be used for good or for bad.
As a father and an ex-wrestler, it's a dream come true. To be able to come back and be included in 'WWE 2K17,' it's a huge honor.
I like to train in my Muay Thai gym that I co-own.
Let's be honest: I'm an athlete, not an entertainer as much.
My hobby first and foremost is collecting automobiles. I have a fairly nice, finished 6,500-square-foot structure that I call my garage.
Terrorism, as a whole, is - I don't want to say 'taboo,' but it is a very emotional subject.
I used to play videogames, but I don't have too much time anymore. I used to have 3DO, but I could never find any games, really. I used to play it all the time. Games like 'Road Rash.'
As a father, you want the best for your son, quite obviously. You want to create the best memories for your son.
At the end of the day, you have smart marks all over the world thinking that they know the outcome of a match.
Having children changes your outlook 100 percent of your life.
No matter how much money you make, no matter how famous you are, you're not above going outside and cutting trees. I do it all the time.
I always wanted to become a good role model for kids as a professional football player. Unfortunately, I didn't attain that through football, but I was smart enough to realize that professional wrestling provided another opportunity for that.
A guy like Ric Flair at 49 could go out and do his character. A guy 49 going out and doing Goldberg again - I don't know what the odds are.
Oh, I love Rock to death, man. He doesn't inspire me as an actor but, I mean, come on.
I knew that the UFC and that mixed martial arts in general was going to prosper because I was extremely selfish and cocky, and I thought: 'Hey, if I like it, everyone's gonna like it.' Well, it came to fruition, and I chose a character that was not a far departure from myself at all.
There's only one reason I would do the kickboxing thing, and that's for myself. I've been doing it as an avid student on-and-off for 10 years, and it's something I really enjoy.
Whether it's at a concert in France or a restaurant in the United States, terrorism doesn't have to happen in a military installation by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm not normal.
There's no question, I guarantee you, that you will see more NFL players getting into wrestling. They have the personality for it.
I don't think most of my hobbies would be surprising to anybody. I obviously like to spend a lot of time with my family. I like to train. I like to lift.
Hulk Hogan and I put 43,000 people in the Georgia Dome with three days' notice. I've got a fairly big following in Atlanta.
It's always good to have other people who you can lean on and pick you up when you're down and vice versa.
I'm more of a 'competitor'; I like to go in the ring and let people judge the competition.
Disrespect is my biggest pet peeve.
At the end of the day, at 49 years old, it's realistic to believe that a Terminator has a heart.
From what I've read, CM Punk is like a sponge when it comes to training.
Anytime I get down to Miami, it's a wonderful thing.
I think when Kevin Nash put himself on the booking committee and then gave me my first loss, that was beginning of the end.
I didn't choose Goldberg because I wanted to be the flagship for the Jewish movement, not by any stretch of the imagination. I chose Goldberg because no one else can own it.
At the end of the day, I'm greatly appreciative of all the fans that I was able to acquire over the years.
Being a professional wrestler surely prepares you for any acting role in that we have to act on live television, so there's a lot of pressure put there.
I'm sitting here with the Mets, and I get to throw out the first pitch. That's one of the coolest things in the world for anybody.
All those guys wanna be us. All the fighters wanna be in professional wrestling; I don't care what they say.
Do every single thing you can to protect yourself, your family, and your country.
It's just a really cool deal to be a character in 'WWE 2K17.' Whether it's competing on Nitro or Halloween Havoc, to have me as an available character... it's a tribute.
