Stone Cold Steve Austin

I didn't do choreographed fighting for a living. I was a professional wrestler for 15 years; there's a big difference.

I think if I'd never had found pro wrestling, I'd be a blue collar guy, working a 9-to-5 job.

I've got a chance to host a show called 'Redneck Island' on CMT. I love doing that show.

Say the average arena is 20,000 people. You're in the very center of that arena, and you're playing to the worst seat in the house up there. So everything is very big, very large. It's like a very violent form of Broadway in a 20x20 ring.

I made a good living being a tough guy on TV, but I'd rather laugh and joke all day long than try to be a tough guy.

Don't look forward to me putting on the trunks and knee braces to get back in the ring and stomp a mudhole in somebody and walking it dry.

Wrestling is a very serious subject for me.

I think they've got to give Kevin Owens a run with the belt. He's a veteran, and he's really clicking on the mic, and the kid is super talented.

When that glass broke and 'Stone Cold' was making an entrance, and that roof blew off that building, that sends you higher than life or anything that I know of. It's an adrenaline rush you can't explain.

You cannot put Paul Heyman with Roman Reigns. People would know you're putting Paul Heyman with him because there is a problem.

I'm really proud of 'Broken Skull Challenge.'

I don't know if a pro wrestling career prepares you for Hollywood. When you get out there, and you're in an arena for 20,000 people or 90,000 people, it's a lot different than being on a quiet set with 100 people, so I think you get used to dealing with cameras.

I don't look to save the world with any of the movies that I make. I'm not trying to make any political statement with the movies I make. I'm trying to have a good time. I'm trying to entertain people.

When I went out and did what I did in the world of professional wrestling as Stone Cold Steve Austin, pretty much anything and everything thing I said was ad lib, on the spot, just let it fly and go for it.

When you see me on TV as Stone Cold Steve Austin, that's definitely a part of my personality.

I think 'The Condemned' has a great story. It's a lot more than a mindless action flick.

Paul Heyman works with Brock. The magic works between Brock and Paul because of their dynamic and their chemistry.

They made a three-hour 'Raw,' but two hours is about my time limit. I ain't got that kind of attention span.

My run cannot be touched. If you want to talk about longevity, you can speak the name Hogan. If you want to talk about white-hot, selling tickets, and taking the business to a height it's never been - and, with a hell of a supporting cast, I might add - you're talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I am not a coward.
