The Four Horsemen were limousines and Lear Jets, while DX was trailer parks and outhouses. One was white trash, one was upper crust. I always saw DX and the NWO as the natural rivals at the time.
There would be no DX if it wasn't for the nWo, in my opinion.
I kind of thought eventually, someday, somehow, I would be Hall of Fame, whether it was nWo, DX, or whatever, and honestly, I thought it would probably happen when I was no longer around.
I don't want to discount the nWo stuff because that was huge, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. And I'm grateful that Eric Bischoff gave me that opportunity. And I had a ton of fun there. But it was nothing compared to the fun and creative satisfaction and just to be part of something amazing that I got from that whole DX experience.
There were times that we'd be in the locker room there before everyone else, and a guy would walk in, say, 'Is this the Kliq locker room?' So we'd draw with a sharpie on the back of a program and write 'Kliq locker room'. I can promise you that none of those signs were ever on WWE letterhead.
All my mistakes, all my accomplishments, the good things I've done, the bad I've done, and the mistakes I've learned from, the mistakes I've never done before - all of that made me into what I am now.
It's not the part of being a celebrity that's so attractive to me. It's being recognized for your accomplishments and what you've done... becoming closer to what you want to achieve in life.
The nWo pursued me for a while. To be perfectly honest, I think WCW management purposely kept me off 'Nitro' for a while to keep the nWo from getting to me.
When I came here in 2008, nobody knew who I was. I didn't know who I was. I was just enjoying the moment and I won. So, now, coming back being the person I am with all the accomplishments, it kind of puts things in perspective.
When you're nWo, you're nWo for life.
I don't know where my career is going to lead me. I would like my career to be as diverse as possible. I've done theater and I've done music, and I would love to keep that in my life.
Some of the regrets I've had about my own career are things I have not done that I should have done. More than some of the things that I've done.
I love to draw, so I really want to go and study art. I've never done things for me. I've always done things for my career or for my family.
Scientists are entitled to be proud of their accomplishments, and what accomplishments can they call 'theirs' except the things they have done or thought of first? People who criticize scientists for wanting to enjoy the satisfaction of intellectual ownership are confusing possessiveness with pride of possession. Meanness, secretiveness and, sharp practice are as much despised by scientists as by other decent people in the world of ordinary everyday affairs; nor, in my experience, is generosity less common among them, or less highly esteemed.
It's the business I'm in, I can't say that signing things is the favourite part of my career but you know that it has to be done and that there is no pain involved.
The NWO... we feel like we are the people's choice; we're doing things for the working man.
