Claude Williams

I'm a sweet eater. I love lemon pie and sweet potato pie.

Claude Williams

Everyone wants to call wrestling 'the business.' Why don't you treat it like a business? I don't care if you're running a diner, if you're running a car wash or a wrestling company. It's all business.

When my hair is dyed, I feel like I'm 35 again.

I'm so super-critical of everything that I do.

I've always been into bodybuilding and keeping in shape, and I just challenge myself to see if I can continue to make improvements.

It's gone on my whole life, this David and Goliath syndrome that a lot of these smaller guys always have.

If they play dirty, then you play dirty.

Lawrence Taylor
