I eat a huge breakfast every morning. I do a lot of work at the gym, a lot of power-lifting, a lot of cardio, and I study wrestling tapes.

My ma is from County Clare, so she's a Munster fan, so she keeps sending me Munster jerseys all the time, trying to convert me to Munster.
I got great opportunities on 'SmackDown' - myself and Daniel Bryan, we reinvented ourselves; we got steam behind us again on that show.
I'd love to become Intercontinental Champion.
I'm a whiskey drinker, but Cesaro is a coffee drinker.
The thing about the 'Raw' after Wrestlemania, the thing is they are the real hardcore, hardcore fans. It's not your typical WWE audience.
I used to work for Symantec AV: I worked as their in-house IT technician, and then I worked as specialized AV support, and then I worked for Hartford Life IT, in Dublin and London. I worked in IT from '99 through to 2007.
I'm very professional. I always want to do the best job that I can.
Every time I get into the ring, my perspective is that the other guy is standing between me and a victory.
I've walked out in front of Madison Square Garden to 20,000 people, which is amazing, as I can remember working in the O2 arena in Dublin as security for wrestling events.
I just want to go out there and have fun and entertain the crowd!
I just couldn't believe I'd made my debut in WWE. It's what I'd always wanted to do.
As for character, there is no doubt that the greatest of all time is The Undertaker, right? Look at all the time he has spent in the business and everything he has achieved. He is one of the greatest in history, and I will remember him forever.
I think what Brendan Rodgers did was right; I thought it was successful. He was able to show that he was able to change several players, prove to everybody in the team that no-one's guaranteed a spot, rest a lot of key players, and at the same time walk away with a very reputable result.
I've gotten punched in the face before by Cena. His hands are like rocks.
A size 13 boot to the face has done wonders for my winning streak!
I'd love to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I would love nothing more.
I want to give Irish kids something to be proud of back home. I want to bring out a stronger image of Ireland instead of 'Irish Spring' and 'Lucky Charms' and all that rubbish.
I never had a concussion playing rugby.
If you talk about natural ability, I think Apollo's probably the most naturally gifted athlete of the new era.
I didn't want to be one of these superstars that just come and then just disappear.
It's really fun doing the 'Celtic Warrior Workouts,' as it just gives the fans a chance to see how we train.
Wrestling, for me, was always something I wanted to do, and it, working in IT, was just a way to get financially looked after; I went and wrestled on the side because you don't make any money when you're starting off, and you don't have any name value.
Wikipedia's funny. Some of the stuff on there - I go there occasionally - it's unbelievable the amount of stuff that people will write on there.
When I look back at my career, I was always trying to be this particular 'Celtic Warrior' character.
With a gimmick, there isn't much substance. If you play to the crowd too much, it can go bad.
I was determined to make my name in the wrestling world no matter what sacrifices I had to make.
I just want to sink my teeth into something good; maybe something with Finn Balor would be great. We had some matches in the U.K.
Roman's a great guy and has the respect of everybody in the locker room. He's got a lot of stick from the Internet Wrestling Community, but he is literally one of the hardest workers.
As for personality, without a doubt, my favorite of all time is Macho Man Randy Savage.
It's the most important prize in WWE, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. You'll do anything and everything to keep it and to get it, and that includes putting your body on the line and doing whatever it takes.
My family watches all the time. They actually love the WWE. They don't just follow my matches: they watch it all.
After four years of experience - and especially after the match with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 27 for the U.S. title that ended up being a dark match - you've got to realize that patience is a huge key in this game.
Triple H was a big help to me.
A lot of guys have played college football and were in the NFL, but for me, it made my transition a lot easier, and people say I'm one of the toughest guys in WWE. I have rugby to thank for that.
Gaelic football is a very Irish sport, which I played.
To get in the ring with guys I haven't been in the ring with before - some fresh match-ups and exciting match-ups. That's really what I'm looking for.
When you start out somewhere, you've got to get your feet wet. You got to find your place.
I remember hearing the name... 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - what the hell is that?' But I was hit by the bug as well. I used to watch the cartoon every morning before I went to school, played the video game at the arcades, and was a big fan of the comics.
The funny thing was, with IT, I was never really a tech type of person: I was better with people, good at dealing with people. I had technical experience; I knew the nitty gritty. I could never be a programmer or anything, but I knew my way around.
Tagging with Cesaro, I've just had fun. I don't think about promos; I don't think about backstage scenes. I just go out there and be me.
I feel like, since tagging with Cesaro, I've let my guard down.
With the Celtic Warrior thing, I wanted to convey a positive sense of Ireland.
Doing different things is great. It's always good to change things up. If you do the same thing over and over, it can get boring.
The League of Nations could've been something really, really big... it wasn't. A lot of guys were frustrated about it in a way.
The thing about me and Cesaro is that we both have strong individual personalities.
Any important series like 'Game of Thrones' or 'The Walking Dead' base their product around the characters and their background.
Would I take Conor McGregor? No, he's a lot shorter than me. I don't think we'd be allowed fight - a heavyweight and a lightweight.
My WWE career has been amazing. It took a lot of time for me to get here, and you never stop paying your dues.
The wheel goes round and round and comes back, and opportunities are given again. You just have to remember that.
