John Cena Quotations

If you don't learn from your mistakes, then they become regrets.

I hate any match that isn't a traditional Tag Team Match or a traditional Singles Match, because anything can happen. It's truly one of those deals where it's all about being in the right place at the right time.

I don't doll myself up for TV because I want people to accept me for who I am.

When you see me on TV, that's about as close to my real personality as you can get.

My favorite thing about 'Saturday Night's Main Event,' it was that one time where I could stay up late with my dad and four brothers, and we would all beat the tar out of each other while the show was on, and it was all okay because my dad was a wrestling fan.

Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They're great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don't like crowds that sit on their hands.

My home is at the WWE. I truly do love performing. The atmosphere here isn't like anything else. It's truly where I belong.

Paul Bearer was very influential in the early stages of my career. He constantly hounded me and I just think he realized the potential that was there. He convinced me that I was in the right place and doing the right thing.

I'm not trying to brainwash my critics. If they're critics, they're critics, and that's their job to be critical, but I certainly enjoy the involvement I have with my fans. I enjoy the time I get to spend with them, and I don't waste time with someone stubborn who is not going to come around.

I watch just as much WWE as almost anyone, but I love to. It's something I enjoy doing. I don't force myself to watch. I get excited for Mondays. I get excited to see the show.

I admire the military. I guess in a world of villains and heroes, they're my heroes. Their dedication, their commitment, their discipline, their code of ethics.

Whether fighting or spitting, my discipline is unforgiving!

I think the greatest hip-hop artist of all time is Jay-Z, without a doubt. He just keeps amazing me with his performance, and since '96, that guy has been producing at least one hit every summer and every winter. That's a pretty good resume.

I'm the one person who wears the words 'hustle, loyalty, respect' on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children. It's very flattering to see a kid wear your T-shirt; it's even more flattering to have a dad come up to you and say, 'I watch you with my kid. Keep doing what you're doing. You're a role model for my son.'

I don't play a character. It's totally just an extension of myself.

As a kid, what brought me in the gym, what got me in there every day was a chance to break your personal best, a chance to be strong; I just really, really dig that.

Pretty much my feel toward MCs is, if you really got heart, you got passion, let's get on and do something. I like doing stuff with people that's real.

I think the way WWE Studios is going now - they're going away from action, doing more drama, more comedy - it will open a lot of people's eyes. Because a lot of people see big guy, big frame: action superstar. We've proven, especially with 'Legendary,' that that is not always the case.

'Tropic Thunder' is one of my favorite movies of all time. 'Blazing Saddles.' Anything that will get me to smile.

People can say whatever they want about the sport of bodybuilding, but to get prepared to do a contest or even think about doing a contest, or even to get into decent shape, it requires a certain amount of discipline, and it comes from taking a new year's resolution to a lifestyle.

I'm fine with being beat-up and pushed around, but I'm really scared of heights and scared of ledges.

I don't have any elaborate uniforms; I come to the ring in a T-shirt, a pair of sneakers and some shorts.

I hang out with a lot of the people I did when I was in high school, when I was in college, and I have a strong unit of people around me, whether it be friends or family, and if my head gets too big, they will definitely check me immediately.

By the time I was 15 and I stepped in the high school gym, I was just stronger than everybody.

A lot of the stuff that I say doesn't even make TV because it gets cut out. So if you're at the live events you get to hear what I have to say, but if you're watching on TV, you're only getting about 50% of it.

But I've been freestyling and messing around with rhyming since I was 13. That's when I really started listening to hip-hop music.

Winning the Royal Rumble is as big an accomplishment as anything.

I was very unique as a child, dressed a certain way, acted a certain way, didn't fit in with everybody. So I immediately got picked on, especially around the age of 12 and 13, when you start going to junior high and start mingling with the older kids. To counteract that, strictly for self-defense, I wanted to get bigger.

I have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don't like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that's your God-given right as a fan. It's one of those deals where I'm that one guy who is outside of that realm of good guy, bad guy. I'm just me, and it elicits a response both positive and negative.

When people show loyalty to you, you take care of those who are with you. It's how it goes with everything. If you have a small circle of friends, and one of those friends doesn't stay loyal to you, they don't stay your friend for very long.

Whether you like me or you don't, I still dig showing up for work.

My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports; we were all big into sports as kids, and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn't know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.

I take pride in the fact that a lot of little kids dig what I do.

In 1985, if you were a wrestling fan, you were into Hogan; that's just the way it was.

The conditioning and the lifestyle changes you have to make to remain a healthy athlete are what molded me into what I am today.

We really do have a lot of personality in WWE. You have to, to be in this job. You showcase a lot of personality.

When I hear people boo, that just makes me want to go out there and work harder.

Ric Flair is one of the most entertaining guys to sit down with and by entertaining I don't mean he has catchy phrases, but that he's been through so much and his experiences are so genuine I could listen to him talk all day.

I'm a small-time white kid trying to represent hip-hop. If a hip-hop artist comes up and beats me in a battle, who did they beat? A small-town white kid who ain't never been an MC, who ain't never done nothing. Now if an MC comes to battle and they get beat by a small-town white boy, that's MC suicide.

If you watch wrestling, you now know the hip-hop culture is being represented with wrestling. For the longest time, the cultures have almost been parallel.

When my job isn't performing in a WWE ring, my job is to get back performing in that ring. When I'm hurt, all I have to do all day is get strong and get better. I'm a very dedicated physical therapy patient, and that helps a lot.

My most string-beanish, I guess, is when I was 15 years old. From 15 to 16, I went from 155 pounds to 215. By the time I graduated from high school, I was between 235-250.

MTV don't play music no more, so I don't know if we can do that, but we're going to really try to knock it down with this one, ... It's a great song, it sends a good message. It sends that message to people that you always don't have to be a gun-totin', mean mother ... we're all human beings.

It gave me an excuse to stay up late with my dad. Watching wrestling with my old man was the equivalent of playing catch with your dad.

Our visit here has been spectacular. Everybody here has been friendly. In a time of conflict and crisis, I didn't know what to expect.

You almost never hear a rap crew today working like EPMD or 3rd Bass. I wanted to bring that style back a little and get away from one MC up there doing his thing. Working this way let us attack a song from different directions and create a more dynamic flow.

so you can go ahead and blow me.

I want to get people back on records that have been out of it for a little while, that still got crazy skills that are out there. There's a ton of people out still out there that can rip the mike and they need to be heard.

I'm the guy who'll drive 250 miles tonight and be at the gym tomorrow at 10 A.M., when people are still sleeping in. I'm the guy who'll fly to Australia and find a gym. Fly back and first thing I do off the plane is work out before I shower or eat.

Vince McMahon owns me.

I don't wanna wrestle Big Show tonight because I'm scared that he's gonna eat me!

Me Brock Lesnar. Here comes the pain. God built me strong. Forget to give me brain.

CeNation. In Austin, TX, preparing to perfrom for members of our military. In that vein, I would like to let the Rough Riders Platoon know that even though they are going through a difficult time, with brave soliders making the ultimate sacrifice, to keep their heads up, hearts strong, and know that all of them are in my thoughts. Never Give Up.

Ahhh, Wade. Wade, you're just so stupid.

Lita on the other hand, she's rated NC-17, which means No Cold sores in 17 days.

This must be Monday Night RAW, we just got a Wendy's chant.

Baloney fudging mustard!

I am a champion who makes an impact.

Easy, Curious George! Get your grubby hands off of that wheel!

I JUST GOT THE CRAP BEAT OUTTA ME!!!

Thou fail to perceive mineself!

What we do is entertainment. They wouldn't go to Tom Cruise and ask if his movies are fake. We provide entertainment. I would rather someone tell me I am not entertaining than ask if what we do is fake.

We wanted to do it right. There is an expectation and WWE has a reputation to deliver the best show we possibly can when we perform in a new part of the world. We wanted to deliver Abu Dhabi with the best product we could. Also it's very difficult to make the travel work as we are constantly touring throughout the year.

I've been very true to know that I have a base of fans and I'm extremely loyal and extremely supportive to that base of fans. To the rest of them, I enjoy the fact that they fill the arenas and tell me to go to hell.

Wrestling is a performance. Its entertainment, we [wrestlers] tell stories. We make our fans happy by telling stories but the long and short of it its pretty much the same thing as acting.

My life is being ruined by the internet!

Vickie... you got some 'splaining to do!

15 steel chairs? That's insane. It was 23 steel chairs.

It's unrated, which means it's too confusing to possibly put a rating on.

And at points in the movie, John Cena is actually impervious to bullets!

If you continue to act now and be a member of the WWE Universe, you will see the same footage from... another... camera angle.

Welcome to the New Raw!

When you are surrounded by people who are much better than you, you have two choices: You can sh*t the bed, and the performance can go to hell. Or you can step up and rise to the occasion.

What, Sheamus? Oh no, I can see him...he's pretty pale......What? oh no, he's even whiter than that. He's like a jar of mayonaisse with eyeballs and a ketchup haircut.

Fashion advice from the Tooth Fairy, that's great.

You're dressed up like the flag, somebody get him a pole! Oh, no, no, no, I know how you can get one. Go on a date, with Michael Cole.

We in the Great White North but you can bite my White South!

Vicke is so fat that she wakes up in sections.

I'm a huge car guy, I cannot wait to see it [Ferrari World]. I hear there is also unbelievable golf which I'd like to sample and I'm looking forward to seeing what the gym facilities are like

The thing that's helped me from wrestling is sometimes when you do live television, things change immediately, so you can be immersed in one story and then the story shifts. Ultimately, if you just get the point of what you're trying to accomplish, if you know the story, then you can put forth a good product.

CeNation. Wwe reports that last night at approximatley 9pm est. It terminated its contract with cousin of john cena, juan. The wwe wishes juan the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Son of a mustard sandwich, that ends tonight!

Ladies and Gentlemen, King of the Stupid Question: Todd Grisham!

For the past 9 years, the WWE has been my home!

The last time the three of us were in the ring together, it was pretty awesome. Vickie, we had a sweet, sexy, passionate make-out session. Dolph you remember! You were there! You were cool with it.

I think I'm not uber into the comedy scene, but I love to laugh, especially in our business, where you're always front and center over an extremely, sometimes overly-critical live audience. I think it helps to laugh.

A lot of the artists that are coming out right now are sticking to the formula of guns, drugs, money, all that other stuff. I'm not from the 'hood, I've never been arrested, I never shot anybody, I never sold drugs,

There's no way I can tag team with Randy Orton; he just wears too much baby oil!

What I want to do is, I want to put together a nice list of those guys who I really did admire when I was growing up, listening to names like Lord Finesse.

It wasn't until after I received my education that I seriously looked at sports entertainment as a way to make a career for myself. And they've got to take it in stride. It's very much like acting or playing professional sports: One percent of one percent of the people who try out for it can actually say they make their living off of doing it.

For me, I don't go in the backdoor. That's the one thing I don't do.

I was very unique as a child, dressed a certain way, acted a certain way, didnt fit in with everybody. So I immediately got picked on, especially around the age of 12 and 13, when you start going to junior high and start mingling with the older kids. To counteract that, strictly for self-defense, I wanted to get bigger.

Just received western union tellagram via carrier pigieon from mexican cousin Juan, Apparently he just got hired by wwe...And would like me to watch his first match tonight in salisbury md, I'll be there.

You learn to laugh at yourself and you also lean on comedy as a crutch to kind of take the edge off because comedians often are self-deprecating and they cross lines that they shouldn't. Stuff like that brings a smile to my face every once in a while when needed.

I haven't backed down from a fight in my life, and I won't start tonight.

Im the guy wholl drive 250 miles tonight and be at the gym tomorrow at 10 A.M., when people are still sleeping in. Im the guy wholl fly to Australia and find a gym. Fly back and first thing I do off the plane is work out before I shower or eat.

I would say luck and preparation. I didn't dominate WWE when I first started, it was a slow process. I wasn't labelled the golden child from day one, it's been a very long road.

WHOAAAA. THERE GOES CODY RHOOOOODESSSS. WHOAAAA. YOU'RE ONLY SMOKE AND MIRRORSSSSSSS. WHOAAAA. YOU'RE ONLY SMOKE AND MIRRORSSSSSSS. What's up, man?

Vickie is so fat that her baby pictures were taken via satellite.

Heath Slater, or the chick from Wendy's
