R-Truth

It's a long road of paying your dues. Each and every person that's in this business has to go down that road. Some people may not have to. Some people may be given that road instantly because of who they are.

I'm trying to take wrestling to a whole different level.

All the things I talk about are true, but some of them I may tweak a little bit. A lot of it is the way I feel about wrestling. When you have a character like mine, you can push the envelope and go far with some of the issues.

I originally wanted to be a rapper and musician.

It's about important things such as having faith, pursuing your dreams and goals. My music is about drive.

I don't like to talk about typical things in my music - my music is more about real life situations.

A lot of my music is inspired by personal situations in my life.

I've kind of changed my diet, but in my diet rulebook, on section 5 paragraph A, there's a cheating plan. So, Corky's BBQ is one of my favorite spots to go to.

I definitely consider myself a role model.

I'm a grown man now, I've got a family, I understand responsibility.

Sometimes a blessing will come out of mistakes.

If you're going to be in this business, you need to be in to win it.

My character is such an entertaining character that it is a whole other element to the show, so once they put me and Carmella together it was like, okay, now I have something to do.

I leave my career totally to the creative staff and Vince McMahon. Whatever they give me to do, I'll go in headfirst and I'll just perfect it and make it happen. I'm ready for whatever they have to throw at me.

Music is universal, man. I got bitten by the wrestling bug and now I just do them both.

I want to keep grabbing, keep reaching, keep crawling, keep grinding and excelling until I can go no higher.

Succeeding, being on TV, being a professional, I was proud of myself, I was happy.

Do not try doing the things that we do one TV in WWE. We're the entertainers, we're the professionals.

I was a fanatic about wrestling when I was a kid.

The South is where wrestling was birthed.
