My affinity for fashion has always been there. When it comes to looking cool for the first day of school, I was always in it.
— Enzo Amore
I would say that my forte is cutting the line. My entire life's work is me having zero patience and not waiting in a line.
I am an entertainer by all means, and I am going to always take stages and will fall on my face with those stages without a care because I am not afraid to fail.
Basically when you're a writer and have a mind like mine, my mind has gone platinum multiple times, and I have got a heart of gold; my heart's in the right place.
I never was in a wrestling ring before I stepped foot into a WWE ring, so I am a product of NXT.
I had a dream, and that dream kind of became a reality when I started taking steps toward it. You don't even realize what you're achieving as you're achieving it.
In our business, it's hard to look at anything in retrospect and look at your accomplishments because you're so busy thinking about the next week. What we do is 52 weeks a year.
I would say Triple H is the biggest influence on my career. He's almost like a father figure. If I slip up, or there's a problem, he lets me know.
To know that a kid could come up to me in 20 or 30 years and say, 'Hey, here's a picture of us. I met you at a meet-and-greet, and I idolized you as a child. I'm a WWE Superstar, too, because you inspired me.' That's crazy to think, but it could happen. I made it, so if I can make it, anybody can.
I was in the business of marketing, and I have two Bachelor's Degrees in Political Journalism, and I wrote for the school newspaper at the time.
Make no mistake about it: when you're on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - on the road 300 days a year - you have to be a certain type of person.
I don't talk to nobody. You know why? 'Cause if you ain't talkin' money, what the hell you talkin' bout?
I've been working with a lot of people out in Hollywood on writing scripts, screenplays, directing, producing, and making music.
You put a microphone in my hand on live TV, and that's just an opportunity for me to get ahead in life. That's the way I look at it.
A lot of what we do is built on trust, because basically, you go out there with a live mic on live television, and the WWE is putting their brand in your hands. Basically, they are entrusting you to go out there and to be a role model for children and keep everything that you are doing within the PG confines of this great brand.
You can't put a cubicle on Enzo Amore. You can't put a cubicle around Eric Arndt.
The NXT environment is so competitive.
We used to move pianos in New York City, and one time, it was, like, eight guys on a piano that was made of glass. We were moving it for Alicia Keys.
I think the people you have to fear most in life are the people who dream with their eyes wide open.
I lived, ate, breathed, slept Shawn Michaels. I wouldn't call it pro wrestling back in the day when I was a kid. I just called it Shawn Michaels.
I'm so glad I got an opportunity to meet Shawn Michaels, because he didn't let any of my expectations down. He's the coolest guy ever.
Monday nights, it wasn't like, 'Mom, I want to watch Monday Night Raw.' It was like, 'Mom, put on Shawn Michaels.'
Wrestling isn't real. The falls hurt, sometimes you get punches in the face, but it's not real. It's propaganda. Propaganda makes you the giant and me the small guy. Propaganda makes me the champion and makes you unworthy of a title shot.
Listen: when you work for an employer for six years, are you gonna sit here and tell me you ain't gotta bad thing to say about them?
There ain't no way the state of Delaware is gonna tell me how to sign my own license!
Any time I see an opportunity to get ahead, I take it.
I had a great relationship with Vince McMahon.
It's just an honor to compete in New York, New Jersey, the tri-state area, where we're from. I have so much roots there, so much family.
I trained under Bill DeMott. I did a lot of my promo work with Dusty Rhodes.
Enzo Amore, the guy you see on TV, existed in a gym in New Jersey long before he ever took to a TV screen.
I was a ball guy. I played basketball, baseball, football. I excelled in football the most. I played running back, wide receiver, safety, kick returner, punt returner.
My name is an acronym for EA - EA All Day. It's a persona that I developed over the years in sports as a caricature of myself. On the field, in practice, in the weight room, I was just a character and a personality.
When I was a kid, I got to meet Shawn Michaels at the Continental Airlines Arena, and I showed Shawn that picture.
There ain't nobody who's got enough money to put my back in the ring.
I'm no saint.
The only vowel I'm concerned with is 'I.'
On the low, I've been in Kanye's studio, No Name, out in L.A.
