Roddy Piper

For years and hundreds of thousands of miles, I drove with one knee, with the eight-track and the light dome on in the car, and a yellow pad, just writing down random ideas. I had notebooks and notebooks. The next morning, I'd go, 'Whoa, what was I thinking?' But there'd be one or two ideas that weren't that bad.

I've got a lot on my shoulders, but I've got the most beautiful family in the world.

One time, I fought 90 fights in 90 days in 90 different places around the world. I didn't even know who I was: about 45 or 50 in, they just kept pushing me, and that's when I really get into a lot of trouble.

I was trained by, at the time, the toughest man in the world. Not according to him, either. His name is 'Judo' Gene Lebell, and he trained Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris. He's the godfather of MMA.

I was 15 years old when I started wrestling full time, and I know what I had to go through to get here.

Burt Reynolds, the first time I met him, he introduced me at Madison Square Garden at Wrestlemania X.

I've been around the world seven times, been stabbed three times, been down in an airplane, and once dated the Bearded Lady.

A lot of guys that were trailblazers, if we were to go back to the actual time, were just really scared and had no choice, but the water's rushing in, and you either swim or sink.

Wrestling moves are made for arenas, not the screen.

There was a lot of work that people don't know about that I did to establish my villain persona. There were a lot of miles on the road that went into it, thousands upon thousands of hours of writing on yellow pads while driving in my car with the dome light on.
