I've never put a lot into being a celebrity, that just flies over my head because that's not really who I am. But as you can imagine, you get exposed to a lot of different things because of what you do and I lived a pretty excessive lifestyle.

The Undertaker

My wildest dreams and the goals that I set for myself, I never imagined the success that I've been blessed with, and believe me, I feel blessed.

The Undertaker

Success Dreams Wit

Regardless of anything, I'm gonna write my own story and my own ending.

The Undertaker

Write Tory Thing

I am and have been the reaper of wayward souls for a long time.

The Undertaker

War Time Way

You either have to make people love you or you have to make them hate you, it doesn't really matter either way. If you can't bring that emotion out of your audience then you're not going to have them for long.

The Undertaker

Love Your You

With the abuse, and wear and tear the body takes in this career, it's ridiculous to put in that time and effort and have nothing to show for it.

The Undertaker

Time Car Wit

I believe in God, but I wasn't living my life for God.

The Undertaker

Life God T

Wrestling and sports entertainment is not about the moves, it really isn't. It's about being able to evoke emotion in one facet or another.

The Undertaker

Sports Men Wrestling

I've always been fascinated with death and darkness, and I still am.

The Undertaker

Death Wit Ways

I learned really late. I started leasing a tour bus, which I wish I had done a lot sooner.

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, man - brilliant mind.

Everything is happening for a reason, it's preparing you for bigger things.

The Undertaker

You Very Things

The old-school Undertaker is my legacy. It's probably what I'm going to be remembered for.

The Undertaker

Undertaker UN Take

I never tried to put myself in situations where I had to be anything other than what people saw on TV.

The Undertaker

Where TV Tried

I've been concussed I don't know how many times, yeah it's taken a pretty good toll on the body.

The Undertaker

Time Good Yeah

I was living in my truck, bouncing in bars - a 20-year-old kid trying to break up all these red neck fights. But hey, I did what I had to do to survive.

The Undertaker

Yin Year Up

Sometimes you have to set the angle within the match, but you gotta give a reason for one guy to be loved and one guy to be hated.

The Undertaker

Time Love You

Back in the old days, you had to work. If you didn't work, you didn't get paid.

The Undertaker

Work You T

At the end of the day, whatever you're doing in the ring, you want it to look real, and genuine, and authentic.

The Undertaker

You Whatever Want

When I was on the road full-time, there was about an eight, nine year stretch where I averaged, conservatively, 250 days a year out on the road. That's basically you fly into a town, you get a Rent-A-Car, find a hotel, go to the gym, you eat, you go to the arena, go back to the hotel, you wake up, go to the airport and go somewhere else.

The Undertaker

Time Car Age

If you see me out on the street, you would see me in jeans and cut-off shirt riding a motorcycle.

The Undertaker

You Would Tree

I've had both my eye sockets crushed, I've been set on fire, uh, that was not fun, I've torn a pec, torn biceps.

The Undertaker

Both hips have had a form of hip replacement.

The Undertaker

We use wrestling moves to tell a story but it boils down to the character and being able to bring either love or hate out of your crowd.

The Undertaker

Just taking a piece of dirt and envisioning the building you'd like to put on it - it's an amazing process.

The Undertaker

Kane, my gosh, Kane is just incredibly strong.

The Undertaker

I always felt like, if I started feeling stale, my audience is probably feeling it before me.

The Undertaker

In the past I led such a mysterious life. I didn't give interviews.

The Undertaker

My biggest fear is becoming a parody of myself. That's something I struggle with.

The Undertaker

I evaluate myself at the end of every year.

The Undertaker

WWE is my domain, my yard.

The Undertaker

Your transgressions will be punished. Dr. DisRespect, you will rest in peace.

The Undertaker

As long as I can compete with the 20-somethings out there... I have a burning passion to do what I do. Financially, I don't need to wrestle anymore. I do it because I enjoy it.

The Undertaker

You have to want it and put the work in to be great.

The Undertaker

I've never put a lot into being a celebrity, that just flies over my head because that's not really who I am. But as you can imagine, you get exposed to a lot of different things because of what you do and I lived a pretty excessive lifestyle.

The Undertaker

I always told guys you don't date people you work with, it's not going to work. I said it for years and then I broke my own motto.

The Undertaker

I've had several joint surgeries just to get floating bone chips and different things removed.

The Undertaker

Roman Reigns never asked me for my help, that's not who he is.

The Undertaker

Even when the business took a real nose-dive, you're thinking, 'OK, how are we gonna get out of this? What we gonna do? We can work harder.'

The Undertaker

Everybody's calling, they want to backflip off this and into that. Once you do that a couple of times, it's like, 'OK, what do you got now?' Well, now I gotta do two flips into that, then two and a half. When they get used to that, what do you do?

The Undertaker

When I started out, I was a basketball player at Texas Wesleyan University.

The Undertaker

For me, I didn't have anyone in the wrestling world... trying to get my foot in the door was virtually impossible.

The Undertaker

You know, obviously I've been around for a while, so I've got a little sweat and blood equity built up.

The Undertaker

I never, like, once I got to the WWE and then, I kind of started to realize that we have something special with that character, I was never satisfied. I was like, 'we're here and we're getting a great reaction, but what's next?'

The Undertaker

I'm always looking down the road. Like, 'okay, I need something. I've got to bring something new to the table, but I have to stay true to what my fanbase and my audience, what they've accepted and this is what they want.'

The Undertaker

For years there, I sort of lived the character.

The Undertaker

I hate, and I hate using that word, that's twice, but people that will do the old take the camera out and do the sneak pic. Like, the guys that are afraid to come up to you, so they'll like try to video you.

The Undertaker

I think I'm a little tougher than I am smart.
