Whenever I Play A Role, Whether It's Good Or Bad, An Evil Person Or Nice Person, I Believe In Being A Purist And Going All The Way With The Role. If I'm Going To Be A Villainous Wrestler, I Believe In Going All The Way With It And Not Breaking Character And Not Giving Away To The Audience That I'm Playing A Role. I Believe In Playing It Straight To The Hilt.

I Try To Please People, To Give Them A Good Time, But I Refuse To Make My Act Conform To Traditional Show-biz Standards Of Entertainment. There's A Little Voice That Says, 'oh, No, You Can't Do That, That's Breaking All The Rules.' That's The Voice Of Show Business. Then This Other Little Voice Says, 'try It.' And Most Of The Time, When The Voice Comes On And Says, 'no,' That's The Time It Works.
