Love isn't a switch you can turn on and off. You just can't get rid of it, regardless of the circumstances, if you truly love someone.
Matt Hardy
A McDonald's cheeseburger with no mustard is my guilty pleasure.
My broken brilliance will shine a light in the darkness.
I don't have an end game. Being a celestial being, I live for the moment to fight the Great War, and that is to light the darkness.
I actually find fondness and appreciation for the Bray Wyatt. I see that he is driven by a higher power, much like I am driven and motivated and inspired and given strength by the Seven Deities.
The most important thing any broken individual can do is keep their chin up and keep moving forward.
Father Time is the enemy none of us can beat.
When I wrestle as a tag team with my brother, it's always great because we realize as our bodies, our vessels, age, we know we can't do this forever.
I want to take chances. I want to kind of step out of my comfort zone, whatever that may be.
When everything is stripped away in life, everybody is a human being that has problems, that has issues, has flaws, that isn't perfect. It doesn't make a difference what your sex is, what your sexual preference is, what your race is or what your background is. If you're a good person, you're OK in my book.
A lot of fans don't accept me because I became a star in the WWE, but that adds credibility and equity to the TNA title.
Everyone is broken; every mortal man or woman is broken in some way, shape, or form.
I just want to enjoy every moment and try to be present in the moment of whatever I'm doing at that time.
I am willing to do business and I'm willing to play ball with anyone, for I am very open-minded.
I've accomplished everything I ever wanted to do in my career.
House Hardy - myself and Brother Nero - are pioneers. My style of booking during early independent bookings was very similar to what 'Ring of Honor' later became, which is what WWE later became.
Every day is great when your name is Matt Hardy.
It is very rewarding to be allowed to have my broken universe fill the two hours of Impact Wrestling.
One thing I have to admit, regardless of what my character thinks, is that EC3 is a very talented individual. He is going to be a cornerstone of Impact Wrestling for a long time.
The only things that matter to me are the TNA World Heavyweight Title, my bank accounts, my family, and those who support me.
As you evolve, you learn that wrestling is not necessarily about stunts or spots. You need to go out and show the audience that they can love you for the persona you are - not because of the risk you're willing to take or the jeopardy you're willing to put your body in.
Every night you go out there, you get hurt. It's really the easiest way to say it. People can describe wrestling however they want to, but your body is flesh and bone, and it's not meant to be slammed on wood and steel.
I'll never forget the reaction the WWE Universe gave me at 'WrestleMania 33' and my return - it was truly one of the greatest moments of my career.
I wouldn't have been so successful if I didn't have such a tremendous groundswell in support from my fans.
I would delete Donald Trump. I would delete Hillary Clinton. I would delete the man who was responsible for Brexit.
My goal is go out, try and be an entertainer, try to have the best match I can but be smart about it. If people are enjoying it, enjoying what I'm doing, then that's awesome because I'm enjoying what I'm doing, and I'm very passionate about what I'm doing.
Wrestling isn't easy. It's like a car crash. I wish they would give guys a few weeks off. I think guys need to take mandatory time off. I know it's tough when they need to promote the key names, but they need to keep guys healthy.
People make mistakes, and either you fall from your mistakes, or you learn from them.
Honestly, it's such a personal issue, I really don't think my feud with Edge will ever end. It's almost comparable to the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels thing. There is just such legit hatred between the two guys.
My soul existed in an African vessel hundreds of years ago as the leader of a tribe, and my tribe fought for honor.
When the Seven Deities let me know what I must do to be complete again - even though I will be stronger and more than just a regular mortal man - I will fulfill that mission and become whole once more.
A dream match, for me, would be to bring Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman to the Hardy compound and face them in the Beastly Deletion.
Many people found 'Mattitude' absolutely delightful. As time went on, it was a constant evolution of change.
Everything we do in the 'Woken' universe is so fantastical that wrestling fans, especially younger kids, who only know Matt Hardy from tag team matches or Team Xtreme or whatnot, they need to learn what I am before we can start expanding.
I like Dixie Carter as a person a lot. I think she's great.
All I can say is that 'Raw' is an amazing show.
Once we went off into the singles world, I noticed there is something very unique about Brother Nero. People are drawn to him, and he has intangibles and charisma that cannot be emulated or duplicated.
One of the fun things about wrestling is that you can do a move and leave your stamp on the business forever.
My Destroyed Universe is very similar to that of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
I love wrestling. That's not going to change.
Personally, I am very glad that Jeremy Borash is here in WWE. He's got a great mind - a very creative person, a good friend of mine - and he just deserves to work here.
Things that I had created or morphed into, I almost became. I felt like a broken man having to go back to plain old Matt Hardy in many ways.
'Wrestlemania 34' was a great moment, winning that Andre the Giant Battle Royal, and I got to bring my creation - the Ultimate Deletion - to 'Raw' in the main event slot. Lot of cool stuff I've got to do.
I think TNA has been an excellent locker room. They have a good mentality, they have a good work ethic, and they try really hard. They're obviously really passionate about wrestling, and there's a huge amount of talent.
People keep saying EC3 is the heart and soul of TNA: that he's this homegrown star, and he is going to be this big star. But fans don't understand that I'm the true star - I came off Vince McMahon's TV.
I got a lot of great years on WWE TV and I made a lot of money throughout the business. So, if I don't do anything else, I'm good. I can kind of do what I want to, which is a very nice feeling to have.
When you're doing a television production, or you're with a company, there is some stress; there is pressure to perform, and it's a little tougher, but it also comes with the benefits of having huge television exposure and wrestling in front of a bigger crowd.
I feel, as I get older and now a father, I try to be a little more conscious of the things I would say and do. I try to be more creative as opposed to using a cheap word, cursing, or something vulgar to get a reaction.
If I don't lift weights, I don't feel healthy.
I was brought up poor, but I've earned every cent in my bank account.
