On being dissatisfied during his 2015 through 2019 run: “You know, that was when I was champion all the time … I was never happy. Never happy. I really didn’t enjoy any of it as much as I should have.”

On Shawn Michaels changing his perspective: “One of the very useful talks I had was with Shawn Michaels. I called him out of the blue and he was kind enough to listen to me. He told me in a lot of ways throughout his career that he was a lot like me, always obsessed with what’s next, not enjoying the ride.”
