I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I've got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.
As a young boy, I was very interested - as I still am - in all sorts of adventure and exploration. I thought about being an astronaut, a dinosaur scientist, or marine biologist, but I clearly was drawn to the ocean and to the water.
A young imagination is bold, likes to make bigger leaps. It likes to, well, imagine that the dustbuster is a dinosaur; that the computer mouse is a hotrod; that the box is a cave; that the rawhide is a torch... or a baton... or something.
I was a dramatic kid. I remember, I was very young, and once I knew what I wanted to do I, like, created a theater company, and I would direct, and we would sell lemonade to buy props.
I lived on the farm with my parents and grandparents. I had no playmates as a young child, and I was indulged. I helped my grandmother piece quilts, and we made pretty albums, an old-fashioned pastime. We cut poems and pictures out of magazines.
In Cleveland, I was a young rookie. I was trying to be like the veterans when I wasn't a veteran. That was definitely the wrong way to go about things.
Being part of 'Raw 1000' in the same ring with Undertaker and Kane leading an army of young hungry wrestlers was amazing.
Books seem so much more - much more sacred to me, and more important and essential, than they were when I was young.
When you're young, you're always concerned about how you're being seen and how you're being criticized.
When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities.
