“I take a lot of pride in beating guys like Kyle Dake or David Taylor o...” — Jordan Burroughs Quote

“I take a lot of pride in beating guys like Kyle Dake or David Taylor or these guys who have been basically bred to do this from Day 1. The best camps, the best high schools, the best universities. I never had that. It's not necessary, but I never had any of the frills a lot of those guys had.”

“I'm so comfortable in my identity as a wrestler that if I never fought, it would never bother me one bit.”

“I listen to a lot of TED talks and motivational speakers.”

“I began as a fiction writer - I had written three novels in my 20s and 30s. But as my work has gravitated towards literary nonfiction, or lyric essay or poetic essay, whatever you want to call it, I'm constantly beating my head against the wall 'cause I'm teaching a genre that's no longer that exciting to me and that I'm no longer practicing.”

“My spleen burst. I remember feeling my heart beating really fast. Beating right out of my chest.”

“I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.”
