Make no mistake about it: when you're on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - on the road 300 days a year - you have to be a certain type of person.
There are months when I'm on a plane every day!
We're on the road 300 days a year. There's no recovery time. It's a test of your physical and mental endurance.
People in the CIA, they marry each other. They're like actors! We have to travel without much warning to far-flung places, and it's very hard to communicate what our experiences are like to those in the outside world.
Since I travel to the four corners of this planet for work, I don't need sun holidays or that kind of thing.
I have to travel a lot for work.
It's a hard life as a professional cricketer. It's not as easy as everyone makes out. To survive you need a tough hide.
You are on the road so much when on the main roster that you don't have time for anything else. But wrestling will always be a huge passion for me.
There is no way I could've been so durable playing in the Western Conference. The travel is nuts.
Being an F1 driver is a crazy job but not what everyone expects. My year consists of 20% driving and 80% media, marketing, and travel.
You can't have a family when you're playing because you're away from home so much. So believe me, I won't be pitching forever. I won't make it to 300 wins or anything like that. No way.
I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.
I must have played every college and university at least three times, and that goes for most of the clubs. I'd be on the road six days a week, go home and change bags, and then be gone for another six days.
I don't care where you go or what company you work for - and I've pretty much worked for them all - WWE by far is the most brutal road schedule in the world. It takes a special kind of individual to navigate that and be able to thrive in that environment. It's a challenge that I've enjoyed.
As an actor, you travel so much. It isn't great for a marriage.
I started doing [acting] for a living, no one really warned me about the amount of traveling I would do. I always thought everything was shot in Los Angeles.
It's pretty much impossible to do anything when you're in WWE because you're so busy constantly.
That's actually the main reason I decided to leave WWE: the brutal schedule that you have when you work for a company like WWE.
It's an amazing life, don't get me wrong. But being a professional athlete, is… is not as glamorous as everybody sets it out to be.
We are on the road 250-280 days a year at least, and it's something that, if I have a wife and kids at home, I don't know if I could do it.
