Freddy Krueger was one of my childhood heroes.
— Kane
At the federal level, as a member of Congress, you have one vote out of 435, and in the Senate, it's one out of 100. So, the ability to get some stuff done exists as a much larger opportunity at a local level than in the federal government.
I believe that the Kane/Undertaker story, if you look at epic storytelling like Greek mythology, that is what it is. It is the best piece of epic storytelling that the WWE has ever done.
When I think about it, 20 years really seems like a blink of an eye sometimes. I wish I would have made a more concerted effort to enjoy things along the way.
In the political realm, when I say I'm going to give everything, that means I'll represent the people to the best of my ability.
You can't make everyone happy. You just do what you can, and that's it... you're always going to catch criticism no matter what you do.
Kane dons the mask because he is horribly disfigured, unstable, mentally insane and crazy, so I thought it would basically look like he had escaped from an institution. Then, I get the creative for the costume, and it looked like a superhero.
I was playing college football, and I hurt my knee very badly my senior year, and I didn't want to get a real job.
My most memorable WrestleMania ever was my first: at WrestleMania 14 in Boston against The Undertaker. That was a huge high point in my career and an absolute highlight of my career.
My favorite movie of all time is 'The Silence of the Lambs.' I think Hannibal Lecter is the scariest movie monster ever because he's smarter than you are.
All of us are born with certain gifts, and the secret to success is figuring out what your gift is and using it in a way that benefits others.
Basically, I'm a fiscal conservative.
I've always been interested in politics.
I was very active in college. I wanted to play athletics, and then I looked at wrestling as being a viable option to do that.
The role in 'See No Evil,' Jacob Goodnight, was perfect for me, so if I got the opportunity to do that again, I certainly would consider that.
I'm not worried about a 'blue wave,' I just think Republicans have to act like Republicans and govern like Republicans.
I personally hate psychiatrists. When I was a kid, I saw quite a few of them, and they ruin everything.
I've been in WWE for 22 years and reached a point in my career where, within the locker room, I'm one of the people that guys come to if something needs to be discussed. I'm also one of the people that the WWE executives, if there is a problem in the locker room, I'm one people that is consulted about that.
I sweat a lot.
I'm not sure what the average career span of a WWE superstar is, but I've exceeded that by a long way.
Knox County is home. I love it here, and I love the people.
I'll admit, when I look back on the past couple decades, a lot of it seems like a blur.
WWE was looking for an opponent for The Undertaker. They needed someone for an upcoming pay-per-view. I was supposed to be just one and done.
People ask what the advantages are of wearing a mask, and the first thing, of course, is the mystery - people don't know exactly what Kane is thinking.
I think one of the things that will really surprise people about 'See No Evil 2' is the fact that its so beautifully shot. It's really a pretty movie.
The horror genre is probably my favorite genre along with psychological thrillers.
I believe, in America, we're a nation of people that are self-governors. This idea that only a chosen few elites have the ability to make decisions is foreign to me.
I'm as far outside of the mainstream political establishment as you can get.
I've always been happy about what's gone on in my career. It's been tremendous: more than I can ever hope for.
I used to play 'Halo 2' and 'Ghost Recon' online quite a bit.
Undertaker, for almost as long as many of us have been watching WWE, he's been part of it.
I think, as Republicans, we need to stick by what we believe in. And that is fiscal conservatism and individual freedom.
I'm really happy to see Braun Strowman. People ask me who reminds me of me, and it's probably him. So, I'm really happy to see him doing so well.
Daniel Bryan is a friend of mine. It's sort of funny that the relationship that you saw between Team Hell No on screen, it sometimes goes the same way off screen as well. He is a great human being and good friend of mine, and frankly, the Team Hell No stuff helped me.
Anyone who's been in the WWE for an extended period of time has to be able to do different things. Eventually, a character gimmick is going to get old and stale. And, when it does, if that's all you can do, you're done.
What we do in WWE is not a sacrifice. Being out on the road all the time, and all the bumps and bruises, that sort of thing is difficult but also a joy and a pleasure. It's brought so much happiness into my life. I wouldn't have it any other way.
When you ask someone for their vote, you are asking them to place their confidence in you as the steward of the community, so it was humbling that people placed their faith and trust in me.
The politician is your best friend - he always wants to be there when he's asking for your vote. But then, often, he doesn't have time for you when he gets into office. To me, it's the opposite. They should listen to you more when they're actually in office.
In my primary, I only won by 23 votes in that one, so every vote really does count, and I want to make sure I get as many as I possibly can.
I grew up in rural Missouri about two hours north of St. Louis, and if the wind was blowing right on a Saturday night, I could catch All Star Wrestling out of Kansas City, which was run by Bob Geigel, and some of the stars there were Bulldog Bob Brower and Ray Candy.
The horror genre is real cathartic. It allows us to bring out the things that scare us and get it out and have an emotional release.
There are people a lot smarter, a lot more talented than I am, people who've accomplished things I can only imagine. Often, they started from the most humble of circumstances. That's my message: freedom and opportunity. That's the American Dream.
I always believed I could win the election. After I won the primary, people started telling me, 'No one thought you had a chance.' I was like, 'Really?' I thought I could win the whole time.
Social studies was my favorite subject. I remember I portrayed Walter Mondale in a mock debate in my sophomore social studies class.
When I was very first getting into wrestling, the Undertaker was my favorite.
I'm not a big fan of spiders and snakes and worms and stuff like that, but they don't really creep me out.
I've been in WWE for 22 years, and that's a long time, and I still think I perform at a high level.
I think Trump's done a very good job, especially with the economy, and we see he's cut regulation, I think the tax cuts really help spur some growth.
