Sami Zayn

It's got to be repetition of me over and over again, constantly delivering the goods every time I'm out there. And that's how I'm going to get to where I need to be, which is in an important match at WrestleMania every year.

I feel like you almost have to have this mentality: wherever you are is the place to be, and any show you're on is better because you are there.

I've been beat up pretty badly back in my day.

I'm a Canadian citizen, but I do have a green card.

I do feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm living proof that anything is possible.

I've worked in front of crowds of two hundred that sounded like a thousand, and I've worked in front of crowds of five thousand that sounded like two hundred. It really varies with the energy level with any given crowd on any given night.

The game has changed since the '80s, where you could punch and kick and headlock and do one suplex, and that's a 25 minute match.

Neville and I are big fans of ska. He's actually more into original, Jamaican, skinhead, two-tone ska from England, but I'm more into punk ska - Operation Ivy and stuff Rancid would do.

I just want to win the world title; I don't want to be a guy that Vince McMahon looks at and says, 'Never. We can't.'

The heel I want to be is real mouthy, which is fine, but I want to be a guy that can be taken seriously to win the world title.

I'm bad at fishing for information.

I have no pokerface.

I hate the word 'annoying!'

I always wanted to be a wrestler when I grew up.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mine got a job on a wrestling radio show in Montreal, and he found a local professional wrestler who was able to train us.

I think fans always felt that I try real hard and I am passionate about what I do.

I was always a wrestling fan, and being an Arab kid who grew up in Canada, there was no representation for people like me.

Not every magical moment in your career is going to happen on the biggest stage of the year.

You have to stand by your beliefs.

Man, it feels great to do anything that might brighten someone else's day.
