I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.
Obviously I'm not a role model for impressionable youth.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are stupid. They take drugs. They get drunk and do all the wrong things in life. I just played it straight.
The effect of liberty is to let individuals ... do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations, which may be soon turned into complaints.
I don't want to be carried out of a club wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and a cap on the wrong way around when I am 70, but I would like to settle down a bit. Maybe with a partner.
It was kind of good that I wasn't doing the Hollywood high life and stuff like that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21.
For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.
I strongly believe that it's possible to conserve our heritage while making more healthful choices.
I stick to myself now on tours. I don't go out party, drink, smoke, do drugs. It's a dry bus. No one is allowed to bring drinks on the bus.
We never could have performed live for an hour and a half every week if we were doing drugs.
Remember the phrase - 'Act your age, not your shoe size?' That didn't apply to me, as they were the same until the age of 12 when my feet stopped growing.
Our kids have to understand that drinking underage is a poor decision that could drastically affect their chances to achieve the goals they've set.
I'm such a homebody. I don't party. I don't drink. That may be because I got it out all out of my system before I was 18.
We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.
The requirements for our evolution have changed. Survival is no longer sufficient. Our evolution now requires us to develop spiritually - to become emotionally aware and make responsible choices. It requires us to align ourselves with the values of the soul - harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.
I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.
I ordered a decaf coffee the other night, and I was like, 'Holy crap, I'm an adult.'
Only by taking responsibility for oneself, to the greatest extent possible, can one ever be free, and only a free person can make responsible choices - between right and wrong, saving and spending, giving or taking.
I'm anti-drugs, 100 percent. I don't like drugs or alcohol. I never did either of the two, and I don't plan on it.
There is nothing funny about a well-adjusted, intelligent person making the right choices.
We have people in the band who don't drink or do drugs... some of us like to go sightseeing.
As your temptations become greater, so does your ability to make responsible choices.
I'm straightlaced, don't do drugs, stick to my regimen.
As you get older, as a father, you hope your kids can make that kind of impression on somebody who will say, 'Hey, here's a guy that you want, a guy of character, got his head tied on right, a good student, a good basketball player,' whatever it is.
After match, in WWE, I do not drink alcohol. I just drink a lot of water.
