I've been stealing scenes all my life.

I've definitely stolen a lot of things.

The whole thing about me being The Showstopper - and Mr. WrestleMania - is that it was something I said once, and it took on a life of its own from there. Truthfully, I think the idea of going out and stealing the show is something you ought to do every time you wrestle. But if you focus only on that element, you end up doing almost too much.

Over the years I've had people tell me that they come to my show to escape.

I've always gone to see all kinds of shows and stole what I could, as we all do. We see an artist and hear a song and think, 'I bet I could sing that song. I'll put that in my show.'

I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.

I steal from every movie ever made.

I've always come into a show when the show was already up and running.

I knew what show business was, which was why I didn't want in on that action. I saw what happens! You get it, and then you lose it.
