Quotes from Shawn Michaels

It's time to stop your grinnin' and drop your linen!

Seriously. Thank you all. In that ring w/all of u watching was THE best place for me for a very long time. Thx for the memories.

For those of us who are on the Raw brand, to hook up with the guys from the Smackdown brand is our chance to go in there and get a hold of guys that you normally don't get a chance to work with.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing Howard Finkel does not get a lot of chicks!

If I'm appearing on 'Raw,' then I'm usually there to help sell tickets to something, and that's when you see the 'HBK' Shawn Michaels come out. At panels, I can be more open and honest and show some more humility. They don't want me talking about my family on TV, but I can in a panel setting.

You do your best with the realization that nothing gets you in ring-shape better than being in the ring.

Don't be afraid to be who you really are. Enjoy it and don't take it and yourself so seriously. I probably wouldn't have listened, but if I did, I would have saved myself some heartache along the way.

When you're just in there with the same guys on a regular basis, I think there's a chance to become a little - I don't want to say lazy, but I'll say complacent. So to get a chance to go in there and mix it up with these other guys is exciting.

You have to continue to hone your craft.

I learned a valuable spiritual lesson in my return to wrestling: God does not give us gifts that He does not intend for us to use.

As I read the Gospels, I never saw a time when Jesus was a doormat. Jesus found a perfect balance, and for me it has been an ongoing search to find the line to walk between making people happy and giving up too much in order to do so.

Resistance builds strength

My salvation came with the realization that if you don't live for something, you don't live for much of anything. My something was Jesus, my Lord and Savior, and I no longer wanted to maintain a lifestyle that would disappoint the One who had given His life for me.

faithfully pray and God will answer our prayer. That's the part I was struggling with. But then he added that God will always let us know what He wants us to do. God will let you know...

God does not give us gifts that He does not intend for us to use.

One of the things my dad and I got to bond over was going to the San Antonio Spurs games when Gervin was there, James Silas... I can't remember the rest of the guys' names, but it was a fun time.

Over the years, with hunting, I think what's become my favorite part of hunting is how self-sufficient I'm becoming.

No, I don't want to go back and wrestle again... But some big bubble could break, and I might need money like everybody else.

Being called 'The Heartbreak Kid', 'Mr. Wrestlemania,' and all those other names doesn't even begin to compare to what it feels like to know that the Almighty God who created the universe calls me His child.

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.

'Wrestlemania' is the time of the year where careers are made or broken.

I think everybody would like to see me against AJ Styles at 'WrestleMania'. That's one that people have talked about, but I also really like Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins.

Years ago, I was always serious, and now I chuckle and make jokes to create a calm environment because 'WrestleMania' can be a high-pressure atmosphere.
