I'm not afraid of failing. I don't like to fail. I hate to fail. But I'm not afraid of it.
— Vince McMahon
I don't know what drives me, I don't have a clue, but I'm driven more today than I ever have been.
I understand the common man because I understand me in that regard at least.
In America it's live by the sword of freedom of expression and be will to die by it as well.
So, I get a kick out of working with the media.
I think that the Internet - and I do love the free flow of ideas on the 'Net - is like the wild west of the information world.
I'm not too good at lying still in the sun.
So no, I don't think we've lost our edge at all.
I believe that given the audience attention level, we could do an even more compelling 90 minutes.
In Europe we could do it, if we fly as soon as the event is over.
Sometimes you have to take a half step back to take two forward.
The biggest thrill in the world is entertaining the public, there is no bigger thrill than that.
I guess maybe another gift I have is a great work ethic.
We're going to be treated very poorly, I think that goes with the territory, and you have to get over it, get beyond it and know who you are among your peers and especially among your family when you look in the mirror.
From a person standpoint, the old expression of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is somewhat true.
The standards are being lowered, not just on the Internet, but in all of news and media.
That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.
When I'm on vacation here in the States, I can do all kinds of stuff; I can train and keep busy.
I think there are certain business matters which we must now conduct differently than we used to.
As far as sustaining our popularity, I believe we can.
It's difficult to do that internally, because you're flying five, six hours.
I'm excited about it, thrilled with the success thus far.
But because our organization has grown so much and in so many different ways, the delegation process places responsibility and authority on the shoulders of people you can watch grow and watch the way they treat others.
I'm a real common sense guy who caught a lot of good breaks and who has been very, very fortunate.
So we're living by that sword, and we're going to cut every now and then from it's backlash.
We love our fans, so there's nothing we wouldn't do for them, and we go directly to t hem.
One of the problems with the Internet is that a lot of times it is inaccurate.
I would dare say that most anyone in public life, if they stay in public long enough, is not treated fairly.
I have to do something with my mind, or I'll get in trouble.
We do have our finger on the pulse of the marketplace, if for no other reasons than having all these live events and listening to our audience all the time.
The key, of course, is to stay away from the losing years.
The Rock will always come back to us.
