Typically in training camp, especially as I've GOTTEN OLDER, we were always very selective with the plays. If it was a pass or a LOOK I needed to GET in the run game or pass protection, I was always in there to get it.

I had a stage when I was 12 years old. I had a PUPPET show CAREER. I wrote HORROR stories in camp, and all the PARENTS called and complained.

In my TOP five favorite MOVIES is a movie called 'Heavy Weights.' I was a chunkier kid and DREAMED of going to fat camp with go-karts and STUFF. That was written by Judd Apatow.

In my head, at least, the business of spinning stories has no CLOSING time. Twists in my characters' lives, glimpses of their secrets, obstacles to their dreams... all ARRIVE unbidden when I'm getting cash at the ATM, WALKING my son to camp, singing a hymn at a wedding.

In camp was found a book, the FIRST of the kind I had EVER seen, in which I was MADE a great HERO, slaying INDIANS by the hundreds.

My BODY was torn apart by an enemy HAND GRENADE... upon arriving at CAMP Bastion, I was labeled P.E.A. - PATIENT expired on arrival. I flat-lined at Walter Reed.

We went through this MONTH camp, learning how to bump and HIT the ropes. I just fell in love with WWE and sports entertainment. It was the perfect world of the merge in sports, action, acting, and entertainment. I FELT like I finally found my PLACE.

When I was growing up, I was teased for being too skinny. I went to summer camp when I was 11. I wore shorts, and the nurse SAID to me, in front of all my friends, that I was anorexic and that she had to monitor me to make SURE I was eating. Because of that TRAUMA, I never wore short PANTS or short skirts until I was 20.

When I come into a camp, a TEAM, I LOOK to be the best PLAYER EVERY snap.

When I GOT into the sport I was so fat that my MANAGER SAID he should SEND me to boot camp to lose the weight!
