In West Texas, where I grew up, I had a wind farm planned. I'd gotten the turbines bought and the land acquired, and then the renewable energy credit imploded, and it killed the margins, so the deal never worked, but the investment bank I was working with asked me and said, 'We really like what you did. Would you come to work for us?'

I'm a part of major league rugby. We had a league meeting to decide what to do with anthem protests, and even though I personally agree with what they say they are protesting as inequality and judicial system and incarceration rates among minorities, we decided all should stand and respect every national anthem.
When people look at Bermuda, they see the beautiful beaches, the golf courses, the fishing, and that's what they should see. That's Bermuda. What they don't see is the almost predominant black-on-black violence that is unfortunately pervasive throughout the local neighborhoods.
You want to get something changed, you send sport. Look what happened when Pee Wee Reese puts his arm around Jackie Robinson. That did more for racial relations in the United States through sport.
Leaving college early to play pro football was the best thing that happened to me. I got to drop the most boring poetry class. Dumbest thing I did was being in that class.
I got the honor of traveling some with Kerry Von Erich. He was as close to a rock star as I've ever seen. He had a presence that when he walked into a room, it was like Elvis walking into the room.
Walmart has stores in almost every city in North America. When they go to same-day delivery, they don't have to build warehouses across North America like Amazon has to do. It is so much cheaper for Walmart to use existing stores as distribution centers.
I grew up a big fan of the J. R. Ewing character of the 'Dallas' TV show, and I grew up around people who were very similar to J. R.: they had come into a ton of money. And they loved to flaunt it and loved to drive fancy cars and wear the big cowboy hats and nice suits.
I grew up a huge wrestling fan. My grandfather, who was a minister and retired when I was a young kid in Sweetwater, Texas, lived right near us. He was a big wrestling fan.
Rugby is just a ball. I would be much more versed to coach American football, but you need 22 players and all of the equipment. With rugby, all you need is some green grass, a ball, and a bunch of kids who want to run into each other really hard, which they enjoy.
I tore my biceps and had two hernia surgeries.
I think people really liked Bill Clinton. They'd like to see him get elected, but Hillary's just a different animal.
If we lose Saudi Arabia because of sanctions or by avoiding them, they're going to China; they're going to Russia.
My belief is that the U.S. is looking at the world through a short-term lens of tariffs and elections, while China is looking at a 25-year plan of becoming the dominant global power.
For all these internet fans out there that want to hate Roman Reigns and say, 'No, we're standing up because we don't like him...' Few people in the history of this business walk into an arena and everybody stands on their feet - everybody.
When I broke my leg in college my first year, they were worried that I wouldn't walk straight again. In fact, I'm pretty pigeon-toed, and most people think I don't walk straight anyway.
Money goes where it's rewarded. Money goes where it is needed the most.
So if you ask those people who say they're standing up to boo Roman Reigns because, 'We don't like him,' 'Okay, would you pay to see Roman Reigns get beat?' 'Oh, absolutely! I'd love to see him get beat.' He's doing his job because people pay to see him.
You want to change Saudi Arabia? You send something like WWE.
Brexit is a disaster, Italy won't be real about its debt, and the European Union is in trouble.
I work with kids every day, and I preach to them how much more they make and how much easier it is to get a job when they get a college education.
When I got hurt - I broke my back in a match in London, England - I had to retire and became just a commentator.
I had seen the ethos of rugby, and I was very much an admirer. For us, it's a beautiful sport, what I guess what Pele called soccer in Brazil. It's so simple; it's easy to understand. You can play five on five or 15 on 15.
I don't know what happened to the millennials. I think too much coddling is not a good thing.
'Stone Cold' came in with a monster push as 'The Ringmaster' with Ted DiBiase. That didn't work out.
You look at something like Russia, or you look at something like China, where you actually allow free markets to go in. And you haven't seen the change that we, in the western world, would probably like. You still have a bit of a dictatorship - some people would say more than a bit of a dictatorship - in Russia and in China.
We knew that AJ Styles might be the best in the world. We didn't realize that until he got to WWE.
I had some physical problems with my back that caused me just some really bad problems.
I retired because I had to, not because I wanted to. The temptation to get back in the ring is very much there.
I fly every single week, sometimes up to four days a week, and I see incredible inconsistencies in TSA throughout our country.
The biggest rivalries I've had were with Eddie Guerrero and The Undertaker. I had long, long feuds with both of these men, and both were groomsmen at my wedding.
That's one of my issues with the pharmaceutical industry - they believe pharmacy is a panacea for absolutely everything.
I'm a kid from a small town in West Texas, and I've gotten to travel the world. I got to live all over the world.
It's been a part of my entire life: I've wanted to be a wrestler since I was a little kid. I don't think that ever leaves you.
Shawn Michaels I just think the world of. I would love the opportunity to be in a meaningful match with him.
I just don't think our best are in politics. I think these guys are inept.
I didn't have a ton of success as Justin Hawk Bradshaw, but it wasn't a failure, either.
When the Miz came in, most of the hazing was me working. Me on the mic, me talking to him. I gave him as much advice as I possibly could because I thought he had the ability to be a good heel. But I'm not going to apologize for hazing him.
Triple H and I have wrestled many, many times, but never on a real meaningful stage. I would really enjoy that.
Second homes are an investment.
If you have a problem, the NYPD is the greatest police force to the world.
I told myself after my football career was over that if I ever started making good money again, I would invest it wisely.
When people are able to live at home, they have more disposable income. That part is good for the economy.
We have a mass incarceration among minorities that is disproportionate to our population. It's a travesty what's going on with our mass incarceration specifically of minorities.
When I was a kid, I always dreamed about climbing mountains. I read every book about it. I formulated this plan to accomplish it.
I'm doing cardio five days a week and will do anywhere from 30 minutes up to an hour each session, but never under 30 minutes.
My dad was a banker, and I've always had an interest in it.
Walmart is going to be very good at this e-commerce game.
If a guy has served time and served his sentence, he deserves the right to gainful employment, but he does not deserve the right to be put at the front of the list.
Texas was a hotbed for professional wrestling when I was growing up.
