R-Truth

A lot of my music is inspired by personal situations in my life.

Me and Vince are like cool, man. Good relationship with Vince, man, and I've been on a lot of trips with Vince, as far as with overseas, going to visit the military. And even at work, man, ideas, he's open to a lot of people, everybody, pretty much. If you have a good idea, he wants you to go in there and prepare with it.

WWF is my second job in my whole life.

I want to become a main player, a main-eventer, a headliner - whatever. I have all that's needed to do that.

Do not try doing the things that we do one TV in WWE. We're the entertainers, we're the professionals.

You can see into people's souls through their eyes.

If you're going to be in this business, you need to be in to win it.

Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Shawn Michales... the list goes on and on of great guys who made WrestleMania what it is.

I'm a fan of Kobe and LeBron. People always try to make me pick one or the other, but I think they're both great. They both deliver.

When you see who I am, you're getting a real character, a real person. R-Truth, that's me.

Sometimes a blessing will come out of mistakes.

I definitely consider myself a role model.

I've kind of changed my diet, but in my diet rulebook, on section 5 paragraph A, there's a cheating plan. So, Corky's BBQ is one of my favorite spots to go to.

All my music has always been about positive, having ambition, having goals, having dreams, and believing in yourself.

I don't like to talk about typical things in my music - my music is more about real life situations.

It's about important things such as having faith, pursuing your dreams and goals. My music is about drive.

Succeeding, being on TV, being a professional, I was proud of myself, I was happy.

I met Tupac pretty much right after he did the movie 'Juice,' so he was already with Digital Underground, but he was on his own rise at this time. He was very humble, down to earth, a very cool guy.

I originally wanted to be a rapper and musician.

My influences, going back through the history of rap, talk about Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe D, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy.

Memphis is like the heart of wrestling.

I heard there are some real rowdy fans in New Zealand.

I'm trying to take wrestling to a whole different level.

It's a long road of paying your dues. Each and every person that's in this business has to go down that road. Some people may not have to. Some people may be given that road instantly because of who they are.

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.
