DANIEL BRYAN

I used to be vegan. I'm not anymore, but I don't eat hardly any meat. But it's nice for me to go to a place like Chipotle where I can get some fresh veggies, some brown rice, some black beans, and all that kind of stuff.

When I was around nine, my parents took me to my first live event, which was a WWE show with Ultimate Warrior. From then on, I loved it.

The thing that I have to stay away from is sweets. I have a horrible sweet tooth. It's just the worst.

My mind thinks in wrestling. As I'm thinking of things and my mind is being creative, it constantly keeps going back to wrestling. That's my inspiration, and to not be able to express that puts me in a spot where I almost don't know what to do with myself.

I spent a lot of time over in England wrestling at Butlins holiday camps for Brian Dixon and All Star Wrestling.

I like having a bunch of different experiences. I don't want to do just one thing for the rest of my life.

I really don't know life without wrestling.

Wrestling is different to me. As I talk to other wrestlers, wrestling seems a little different to me than it does to a lot of them. To me, it's about an artistic performance and about honing my artistic performance in pursuit of these minute moments of perfection. These little encapsulations. And none of them are ever perfect.

I'm not somebody who is genetically gifted when it comes to facial hair.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was one of the worst boxing matches I've ever seen, but millions of people watched it because of the personalities involved.

I feel like a lot of fans would like to see me with the heavyweight championship.

WWE doesn't owe us anything.

I loved playing football, but I hated the games because it's a lot of pressure. I just loved putting on the pads and hitting my friends.

If you watch dogs play, they run and they fight, but they don't fight to hurt each other. They just play. And that's been me my entire life.

WWE was an opportunity to wrestle in front of thousands - in 2013, I did 227 matches, and almost all of them were in front of more than three or four thousand people, with a high of 70,000 plus. It was an incredible experience to be part of that.

I don't want to live my life to entertain other people. I have other things that I'd like to do.

I would define the new aspects of fatherhood like this: It is 75 percent amazing and 25 percent demoralizing. I think any new parent can understand exactly what I'm talking about.

I like going to Japan where they treat it like a real sport. I like doing the entertainment stuff with the WWE. I really like doing the small venue stuff, like Ring of Honor, because everything is so intimate. There's different feelings and different experiences, and you have to be good at different things to do all of that.

With ladder matches, you can't expect anything other than craziness.

That is one of the coolest things about WWE and wrestling in general. The fans have this very unique voice and this very unique power, and in no other sport and no other form of entertainment can the fans make their voices heard and it effect change.

My No. 1 dream match is Brock Lesnar. And I want that to be a WrestleMania match. I don't know if the WWE will ever let that happen, because they might be afraid he might legitimately hurt me pretty bad.

I'm a terrible actor. I would suck in films! The only way I would do well is if I was playing myself, which is what I did in my career.

I loved wrestling in Philly. It was such an exciting time in my life. That really helped me grow and think differently. It was also just a lot of fun.

I wasn't a great athlete.

You have to realize that a lot of life is just fortune and the ebbs of flows of what goes on.
