• I feel most vulnerable when I am underprepared - for instance, if I have an audition and haven't worked through the material enough beforehand.

• Coming here, I sharpened and fine-tuned everything I had and needed.

It makes the transition from down here to up there (the WWE roster) so much easier because you’re prepared for what they need you to do. It’s not like you’re jumping into a whole other world. You’re prepared for what they need.

Rather, the car resembles a dragon fly or any other jumping animal that moves shorter distances in straight lines and then changes its direction at different points.
