Sheamus

The wheel goes round and round and comes back, and opportunities are given again. You just have to remember that.

Doing different things is great. It's always good to change things up. If you do the same thing over and over, it can get boring.

I just want to go out there and have fun and entertain the crowd!

I just want to sink my teeth into something good; maybe something with Finn Balor would be great. We had some matches in the U.K.

As for personality, without a doubt, my favorite of all time is Macho Man Randy Savage.

Any important series like 'Game of Thrones' or 'The Walking Dead' base their product around the characters and their background.

I think what Brendan Rodgers did was right; I thought it was successful. He was able to show that he was able to change several players, prove to everybody in the team that no-one's guaranteed a spot, rest a lot of key players, and at the same time walk away with a very reputable result.

It's the most important prize in WWE, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. You'll do anything and everything to keep it and to get it, and that includes putting your body on the line and doing whatever it takes.

Would I take Conor McGregor? No, he's a lot shorter than me. I don't think we'd be allowed fight - a heavyweight and a lightweight.

I've gotten punched in the face before by Cena. His hands are like rocks.

My family watches all the time. They actually love the WWE. They don't just follow my matches: they watch it all.

My WWE career has been amazing. It took a lot of time for me to get here, and you never stop paying your dues.

A size 13 boot to the face has done wonders for my winning streak!

I was determined to make my name in the wrestling world no matter what sacrifices I had to make.

I'd love to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I would love nothing more.

Triple H was a big help to me.

'I have always been. I will always be. Come with me.' It's kind of the Celtic vibe. I am saying I will never change; I will always be the same. Follow me. This is what I stand for.

The Celts were harder than anyone else, tougher, and rugged. We battered everybody.

You know the way it is: sometimes Americans think of us as their backward little cousin. It's the whole shamrock, potatoes, famine, leprechaun thing, all that drunken paddies rubbish.

I'm either doing a show or in the gym or studying WWE videos or eating. I have to eat a lot.

I like that I can stand out from the crowd.

When I was a kid, I always had the red hair, the white skin, and freckles. Back then, I wanted to look like everybody else, but now I realize that being different is definitely a major help.

You can never be happy; you can never be satisfied with what you have. You always need to have that want to achieve more, and I definitely want that success.

The fact that I'm even in a video game blows me away, but 'WWE 12' is even more special to me because they have a whole storyline around Sheamus in the game. It's really, really cool.

Us Irish are kind of like that: we're hard grafters. We like to prove everybody wrong.

It's really fun doing the 'Celtic Warrior Workouts,' as it just gives the fans a chance to see how we train.

I eat a huge breakfast every morning. I do a lot of work at the gym, a lot of power-lifting, a lot of cardio, and I study wrestling tapes.

I want to give Irish kids something to be proud of back home. I want to bring out a stronger image of Ireland instead of 'Irish Spring' and 'Lucky Charms' and all that rubbish.

My ma is from County Clare, so she's a Munster fan, so she keeps sending me Munster jerseys all the time, trying to convert me to Munster.

I never had a concussion playing rugby.

Gaelic football is a very Irish sport, which I played.

I got great opportunities on 'SmackDown' - myself and Daniel Bryan, we reinvented ourselves; we got steam behind us again on that show.

If you talk about natural ability, I think Apollo's probably the most naturally gifted athlete of the new era.

To get in the ring with guys I haven't been in the ring with before - some fresh match-ups and exciting match-ups. That's really what I'm looking for.

I'd love to become Intercontinental Champion.

I didn't want to be one of these superstars that just come and then just disappear.

When you start out somewhere, you've got to get your feet wet. You got to find your place.

I'm a whiskey drinker, but Cesaro is a coffee drinker.

I try not to think small minded.

I remember hearing the name... 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - what the hell is that?' But I was hit by the bug as well. I used to watch the cartoon every morning before I went to school, played the video game at the arcades, and was a big fan of the comics.

The thing about the 'Raw' after Wrestlemania, the thing is they are the real hardcore, hardcore fans. It's not your typical WWE audience.

Wrestling, for me, was always something I wanted to do, and it, working in IT, was just a way to get financially looked after; I went and wrestled on the side because you don't make any money when you're starting off, and you don't have any name value.

The funny thing was, with IT, I was never really a tech type of person: I was better with people, good at dealing with people. I had technical experience; I knew the nitty gritty. I could never be a programmer or anything, but I knew my way around.

I used to work for Symantec AV: I worked as their in-house IT technician, and then I worked as specialized AV support, and then I worked for Hartford Life IT, in Dublin and London. I worked in IT from '99 through to 2007.

Tagging with Cesaro, I've just had fun. I don't think about promos; I don't think about backstage scenes. I just go out there and be me.

When I look back at my career, I was always trying to be this particular 'Celtic Warrior' character.

Every time I get into the ring, my perspective is that the other guy is standing between me and a victory.

With a gimmick, there isn't much substance. If you play to the crowd too much, it can go bad.

With the Celtic Warrior thing, I wanted to convey a positive sense of Ireland.

I've walked out in front of Madison Square Garden to 20,000 people, which is amazing, as I can remember working in the O2 arena in Dublin as security for wrestling events.
