Bill Goldberg Quotations

What kind of moron would go to work for half the amount of money, when they could sit at home and collect what's written in a contract?

Free agency screws everybody's allegiances up. Whether it be football, baseball, hockey, basketball, whatever it may be. It's really hard.

The fact is that I made a stand a number of times in my career, and I did it because I knew I was right.

You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.

You can say I give you this information as a dispassionate observer.

At this time, the only thing that would get me back in the ring is something that would positively impact those in need. If selling out another major event would allow me to bring a ship full of supplies to hand out to those in need, I'd say that would be very significant.

No, if there is an aspect of the executive branch of the government that needs looking at, I'm liable to be called in to look at it. But I'm not the only one.

I grew up in the Midwest, so we really didn't have much hockey going on.

The cutthroat part of it is that professional wrestling has no union. There are a number of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis.

All of my cats are adopted and all show their gratitude on a daily basis. I don't know where I would be without them.

I really don't have a favorite team.

At the end of the day, when two combatants get into the ring and/or cage, it's anybody's game, especially in MMA.

I'm also a devoted father, and you see that side of me at the same time.

I am a competitor and always have that itch until the day I die, but I won't let the itch supersede being a businessman.

Georgia Dome was a pretty big eye opener that I had something kind of going in the right direction. It seemed like a movement, and I was greatly appreciative for the chants and the signs.

I do not get involved in the game to think that it is a future transition for me getting back into the ring. It was not my intention. I've stated many times that I did it for my son.

Adam [Sandler] is a good basketball player, so he is a natural athlete, he worked with Sean Salisbury to make his footwork and delivery smooth, and he did a great job.

I am always a competitor and my wife and son have never seen me wrestle.

Brock [Lesnar] is one hell of a wrestler, and he's a big monster.

WWE has not called me to be a part of any roster. My relationship with WWE stands with the video game and the video game only. If they want to extend an olive branch and pick up the phone, then I will make a comment on that once they do it. But prior to that, nothing's been done.

I believe that it was a testament to the change of power from the company to the fans because the more the fans ate it up, the more the company gave them what they want.

I think if Donald Trump won, I would move to Canada.

You get hit by one of those right hands or an uppercut or a left hook by Mark Hunt, then you know that **** is on and that cage is locked, and there's nowhere to go.

My character was a homogenization of various things, whether it be the attitude of a Bruiser Brody, or the look of Nikita Koloff or the way that Nikita looked at the people. I took a little bit of what I liked and what I had seen throughout the years from everybody that I was entertained by and made it my own.

Like most of the movies I have participated in before, it's not a far departure from my actual self. TJ is a Special Forces, hand-to-hand combat expert. He's got a big heart. He has a sense of duty that never ends, whether he is active duty or as you find him in Check Point, retired.

The relationship with WWE obviously has gotten better because after my name has been shoved down their throats from 2K [Games] for the past years, they finally passed off on it. They finally okayed it.

I am busy right now with my family, let alone all my other projects. It's an opportunity if it presents itself.

My foray into the wrestling world is well documented in that I have stated many a time that I am not the kid that grows up and aspires to put wrestling trunks and wrestling boots on and get in the ring and flies around to entertain people.

I was the kid that wanted to be anonymous in that I'd put a football helmet on and be a member of a team and go out there and maim people. It was a very hard process. It truly was.

Pardon me, not to sound elitist, but I wanted to put something together that I would enjoy. I thought at that time, what satiated me, what interested me, what intrigued me, I thought other people would like also. And you blend that with some forward thinking of predicting the UFC and MMA were going to be ultimately as big as it became.

I was a football player and competitor in life.

Aside from doing publicity for this film [The Longest Yard], I have Auto Maniac coming on the History Channel and since I got married recently, we are going to get to that Honeymoon we had to put off.

At the end of the day you go out and do your job and follow your directions.

To think that Donald Trump could have his finger over the big red button is absolutely terrifying.

I've known Mark Hunt for a long time, and I've known Brock [Lesnar] for a while. I think that it's a very interesting match-up. I think it's good on the UFC for making that match-up.

I had never imagined myself doing [wrestling]. Once I came to the realization that it was a possibility, I just tried to concentrate on what I thought people would enjoy.

Whether I was a character in WCW, WWE or The Longest Yard, you want to be able to - the best part about myself is that I have a very wide range of emotions in that one second I can be speaking on Capital Hill about dog fighting and giving them a voice, which they can't obviously speak for themselves.

At the end of the day, when you are in the front office, your tenure is dictated by the people surrounding you.

I think it's widely known at this stage that I am willing to put past differences aside and make some money and do the right thing for the fans. If it happens, it happens. It's all good. If it doesn't, I truly am not going to miss a beat of my life.

Luckily I stayed in shape due to wrestling.

Sometimes my natural instincts take over and I just go overboard.

I think Donald Trump would be a horrible President.

I spar with 18-year-old kids that try to kick my ass all the time. As far as going in and doing a wrestling match, I think that pales in comparison, but it's a totally different thing. It's completely different. You have to condition your body.

I shaved a lot off of a lot that I saw in that I like to be less is more and make everything count and not give anyone anything extra. I was what you see is what you got. It was organic. I came up with the persona. The persona is me, coupled together with a lot of my interests.

As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don't think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.

Robert Wagner, who I met at a celebrity event in Aspen, Cindy Crawford, Tim Conway, all these people are great fans.

Just about any lawyer in private practice who had a chance to serve in high office would. If they say no, they're kidding. I'm glad of the state experience I'm getting. I've learned a great deal. It's very broadening, this insight into how government works and how people function. What makes it, them, tick. It can only make me a better man, a better lawyer - or a better public servant.

Yeah, but it's an opportunity for public service. Here there is a variety of experience. And if I end up being a trial lawyer for 30 years rather than 35, well, that's OK. I've regularly been involved in public affairs, but never before on a full-time basis. And I do not, repeat, do not plan to run for public office.

I made a mistake out there and I got mad. I slammed my fist into the rearview mirror and I think I broke my wrist. Guess I shouldn't have done that.

you could watch for 45 minutes to an hour and never get bored.
