I wake up and play a different person every day. Playing all these different characters and trying to figure out who your true authentic self is at the core of that as you're playing all these different roles, and man, that self-awareness starts to come into effect. And you start to see who you really are.
I love my husband very much. I knew it was real true love because I felt like I could be myself around that person. Your true, true innermost authentic self, the stuff you don't let anyone else see, if you can be that way with that person, I think that that's real love.
I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.
The authentic self is the soul made visible.
I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd have done it a lot earlier.
Just be your authentic self because there's nothing sexier or more beautiful than that.
Everyone has an internal age, a time in life when one is, if not one's best, then at very least one's most authentic self. I always felt that my internal clock was calibrated somewhere between 47 and 53 years old.
What's it like to figure out you're gay and then begin the process of coming out? Well, for most of my life, I felt doomed. I could imagine no path that would allow me to realize my authentic self. I felt the need to lie, even to myself, insisting: I am straight.
One of the great things about wrestling is how it interrogates this silly idea that you have one authentic self.
The real rub is finding that authentic self and it's not something that's going to come to you overnight.
