I think The Miz can be a terrific heel. Miz enjoys being a heel, and I think he's actually very good at it. People look at him and want to hate him. That's what you want.
Eric Young is an excellent heel. I think Eric Young is a really, really good heel because he does things intentionally so that you don't want to cheer him, you don't want to get behind him, and you don't want to support him.
When the Miz came in, most of the hazing was me working. Me on the mic, me talking to him. I gave him as much advice as I possibly could because I thought he had the ability to be a good heel. But I'm not going to apologize for hazing him.
I will say this about the Miz: Even though I don't like his wrestling style, he is a very hard worker. I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I want him to do well.
When fans think WWE, I don't want them to think Hulk Hogan or The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin or John Cena. I want them to think of The Miz. I want to be on every show. When we need a guy to do Conan or Jimmy Kimmel, I want them to call me. I wanna be on the cover of all the video games. I want it all.
If you watching remember The Miz at the time when he was on 'Real World,' he was a character known as The Miz. He always wanted to get into sports entertainment, as did I. In a very similar likeness, I was EA All Day.
I think deep down inside, most of the bad guys want to get cheered - I don't. I want absolutely everybody in there to hate me, and that's the mentality you need to have to be a successful heel.
I love The Miz! I absolutely love him. He's so snarky and that's who I want to be. I want to have cool comebacks and get people to listen to me and be invested in me. Even CM Punk - when he spoke, everyone listened.
When you're initially a heel, it's easier to be a heel. I'd rather people hate me than try to get them to love me.
If you look back at people like The Rock there are times when earlier in his career he was doing heel stuff and he was so entertaining that people cheered for him. The natural thing to do was turn him babyface.
Miz & Morrison, 'The Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century,' was fun because Miz and I have great comedic chemistry for backstage segments and our Internet show, 'The Dirt Sheet.'
If the height of the heel is the same as the length of your foot, it starts to look wrong. And if the heel is positioned badly on the sole, you get into ballerina territory, where the body is pushed into a very strange posture. You can exaggerate the arch only so much.
I have lots of shoes, but I have to be comfortable. Lately, I've stolen my husband's big, ugly Uggs to wear around the kitchen. I want to have them on, then slide into a fabulous heel later. Truth is, I often forget the heel.
Anderson Silva I think is extraordinarily talented, but I don't think his submission game is great. We've seen him get caught in heel hooks.
The Miz can out brawl Randy Orton. Out wrestle him, out shine him, out smart him and out class him.
I think the self is complicated, that at various times we are all various people, and wrestling actually does a lot with that. You have things like heel turns where a person goes from being a good guy to a bad guy.
I pride myself on not being run of the mill. I don't want to be your umpteenth Fantine in 'Les Miz.'
