Dean Ambrose

I'm doing some more dangerous stuff on a weekly basis than professional stunt men are doing.

No one really has any idea about me. To me, what I give you is what happens onscreen, and past that, anything you're coming up with in your own head, you're creating in your own mind.

You have these magical moments in these live events that are never captured on film and that only live on in your memory. Those are always my favorite.

I've always fed off negativity and wanting people to hate me. That attitude really fueled me for my entire career. So being a guy that people like and want to cheer for is the weird part.

I was pretty happy with what we were able to do on 'SmackDown.' It was one of the best, most fun runs of my career because it was essentially a new show.

I put in the same hours to get good at this as a surgeon who went to college. It's just a much less important job in the realm of society.

In North America, there aren't too many big places to go, so you find that pretty much all of the best talent in the world ends up filtering through WWE.

In the back of my mind. I always knew WWE was where I should be and where I would end up. Or where I could end up. Where I deep-down wanted to end up.

In a situation like the Rumble, I'm looking around constantly and keeping my back against a rope as much as possible so I can see what's going on.

I remember, the first times watching WWF, Bret Hart was kind of the man, winning King of the Ring, technical master, and he could go for an hour. He had a million different moves he could beat anyone with. Just rugged, dynamic champion. He was so cool.

The calmest part of my day is right before a match.

I don't look any further than what's right in front of me.
