“People keep saying EC3 is the heart and soul of TNA: that he's this ho...” — Matt Hardy Quote

People keep saying EC3 is the heart and soul of TNA: that he's this homegrown star, and he is going to be this big star. But fans don't understand that I'm the true star - I came off Vince McMahon's TV.

There are many hard truths that we must face in life.

When I wrestle as a tag team with my brother, it's always great because we realize as our bodies, our vessels, age, we know we can't do this forever.

My wife is an incredible pianist. I don't think there's anything my wife can't do, in all actuality.

When you really believe something, you need to stand up for it.

You have to remember that in the microcosm of Cincinnati, Ohio, through northern Kentucky, my father was a big star, still is. So that made my sister and me really visible. Everybody knew us, talked about us.

If you think that one should do a commercial picture because everyone is doing it and that one will become a big star after that, I think that if you don't have that grain in you, it will not happen.

I've had days here and there where I would get discouraged because I wasn't a big star, but I've made a living ever since I was 27. Not a great living, but enough for me. I think actually being able to pay my rent and eat and perform is enough, and I did that for many years. Then I had some good years in there, too, where I made pretty good money.

Flops are always disappointing, but 'High Fidelity' was devastating. Not that I thought it was going to make me a big star, but I did think it was going to run longer than a week and a half.
