I'd Told Taker Before The Promo That I Was Gonna Stick It To Him And He Told Me To Go For It. However, I Crossed The Line And Insulted Him By Saying What I Said. I Can't Believe The Lack Of Respect I Showed Him And So Many Of The Other Guys In The Locker Room During My First Month In The Company, Especially Since I Knew How Important The Hierarchy Of The Business Was (and Still Is). Respect Your Elders.

I Don't Look To The Negative People Because The Only People Who Ever Tell You That You Can't Do Something Are The Ones Who Haven't Done It Themselves... The Ones Who Failed.

Don't You Touch Me Again. I Will Knock You Out, Junior!

I've Got News For You... Both Those Idiots [al Snow And The Rock] Aren't Your Friends! They Hate You! Everybody Hates You! All The People At Home, All These People In The Arena Hate You, And Most Importantly, Y2j Hates You!

People Ask Me What My Favorite Wwe Era Is. It's Now, Because I'm Living It.

You Know What's Funny To Me? You Know What's Really Funny To Me? The Fact That You've Been Calling Lita The Walking Kiss Of Death, But Tonight.. The Walking Kod Beat The Walking Std.

X-pac, I Feel Terrible That You Have To Come Out Here And Defend The Integrity Of A Woman Who Has Absolutely None. I Mean As Far As Stephanie Mcmahon-helmsley Is Concerned The Word Honor Means Jump On Her And Stay On Her. Well, Let's Spell That Word H-o-n-o-r. I Guess Stephanie Is Half Of That. After All She Is A Filthy, Dirty, Disgusting, Brutal, Skanky, Bottom Feeding Trash Bog H-o. And No Amount Of Defending Will Ever, Ever Change That!

X-pac, I Always Thought You Were A Greasy Haired, Cheesey Bandana Wearing Asshole That Wore Green And Black Tights. I Now Think You Are A Greasy Haired, Cheesey Bandana Wearing Asshole That Wears Purple And Black Tights.

I Have A Journalism Degree, But I'd Rather Be The Person Who Is Being Written About Rather Than The Person Who Is Writing.

Think About It - Pro Wrestling As An Olympic Sport Would Be Pretty Cool. Look At Figure Skating Or Gymnastics - What Is It? It's A Choreographed Performance That Is Judged.

When You Go To The Hollywood World And You Wade In The Waters Out There, You Never Know Who You’re Going To Meet And What Meetings You’re Going To Have At Some Point, Somewhere That Leads To Something Else. So You Could See Somebody Years Later That Comes To Fruition.

I Am The Best In The World At What I Do!

You'll Never, Eever, Be The Same, Again!

Live Events Are Notorious For Being Pressure Free. Stress Free. It's All About Just Doing The Match. Doing What You Feel.

Fake Is Not A Word I Like To Use Because There's Nothing Fake About What I Do. It's A Show, It's A Predetermined Outcome; We're Putting On A Television Drama, Action, Comedy, Whatever You Want To Call It - But It's Not Fake. Fake Would Be If I Was Just About To Take A Body Slam, And My Stuntman Did It. Fake Would Be If I Was Going To Take A Chair Shot To The Head, And The Chair Was Made Of Rubber. I'll Tell The World That It's A Show, But I Hate The Word Fake. It's Such An Unfair Term To Us.

I Always Played Hockey, I Was Always A Hockey Fan, But I Was Never Bitten By The Hockey Bug... I Never Looked Into Playing It Professionally.

Comedy Is Commitment And Playing A Character And Falling Into The Role, And I've Been Doing That Since I Was 19 Years Old.

Will You Please Shut The Hell Up!?

Whenever You Get A Bunch Of Guys That Are Funny Or Think They’re Funny, When You First Meet, There’s Always A Lot Of Bits And It’s Never, Ever, Ever Funny. So Basically You Have To Get Through The Awkwardness.

A Live Performance Is The Same No Matter What Genre It Is. Wrestling, Rock 'n Roll, Hosting, Acting - It's The Same Thing.

If Shakespeare Was Alive Today, He'd Be Writing Wrestling Shows.

I Wish You The Beast Of Luck!

I Just Kind Of Take Every Day At A Time. I Just Know That I Don't Do Anything That I Don't Want To Do; I Enjoy Everything That I Do And That's What You Have To Do To Keep It Good And Keep It Real.

Things That Are Worth Doing Are Never Easy.

This Book Is Dedicated To Sweet Loretta Modern. It's Also Dedicated To All The Jerichoholics Who Have Stood Behind Me Through All Of The Trials And Tribulations Over The Last Twenty Years.if I Were Wearing A Hat, I Would Tip It All To You.

I Always Like Doing Things That No One's Ever Done Before. Doing Things A Little Out Of The Ordinary.

I'm Always Trying To Change Things - Change My Character, Change My Look, Change My Hair, Change My Facial Hair, Change My Costumes, Or Implement Different Jackets Or Catchphrases. I Try To Keep Myself Fresh.

It So Cliché To Say Some Guys And Girls Need To Step Up, But There Can Be Bigger Stars And Bigger Names When People Get Their Chance.

I Just Know That I Had Great Matches Pretty Much Every Night. I Had Great Rapport With The Fans. I Could Make Them Love Me Or Hate Me Depending On What I Wanted.

I Have Passion For Music Just Like I Have Passion For Wrestling, Just Like I Have Passion For Creating And Acting.

I'm Never Going To Say The Word "retire." If I Feel Like Having A Match When I'm 70 Years Old And I Think I Can Go Out There And Tear It Up, Then I'm Going To Do It.

If The Show Is Great, It Doesn’t Matter Who Wrote It. It Doesn’t Matter Who Takes Charge When You’re Filming It. It Just Matters If It Works Or Not.

I Didn't Understand At The Time Why Vince Was So Interested In Teaching Me Life Lessons When All I Was Trying To Do Was Get My Video Played. But Now I Think It's Because He Saw A Little Bit Of Himself In Me. Just Like Me, He Was A Rebel Who Listened To No One And Did Whatever It Took To Get The Job Done, Pissing People Off With His Stubbornness And Drive In The Process. Therefore, He Was Trying To Teach Me How To Better Myself Instead Of Repeatedly Getting Into Trouble By Rubbing People The Wrong Way.

In Hollywood, There Really Is A Stigma Against Wrestling. I Think That's Why People Think Wrestlers Are Neanderthals Who Can't String Two Words Together.

We Both Liked The Idea But Couldn't Figure Out A Way To Get Up To The Roof. Vince Had Just Seen The Spider-man Movie And Suggested We Shoot Webs Out Of Our Wrists And Swing Up There. We Asked Vince Not To Contribute Any More Ideas.

If I'm A "b Player," That's Because The "b" Stands For Badass.

I Never Second-guess Myself. I Could Wrestle You Right Now And I Know We'd Have A Good Match. Right Now. Let's Go To The Ring And Don't Even Worry About It, Let's Go. Madison Square Garden. Let's Do It. Once You Feel That Way, Nothing Can Bring You Down, Nothing Can Stop You.

Now You're The Queen Of Hardcore, But Movies Don't Count!

Talking Of First Times Stephanie, I Bet Your First Time Was Really Memorable For You And The Captain Ot The Football Team .. And The Basketball Team .. And The Softball Team, The Track Team, The Chess Club And The Pool Boy!

There's No Unemployment Insurance If You Don't Have A Job In Wrestling. You Really Have To Be Committed, To Have A Love And A Passion For The Sport, A Belief In Yourself That You Can Do It.

In True Rock Star Fashiuon, I Had Insomina Last Night And I Didn't Sleep At All. So All I Need Is A Bottle Of Jack Daniels And Some Groupies, And I'll Be Just Like David Lee Roth.

The Thing Is, When You Do A Lot Of Different Things And You Have A Lot Of Different Projects On The Go, Each One Feels More Challenging And More Rewarding Than The Last. That's Why You Do It.

So Stephanie.. You Wanna Say Let The Bodies Hit The Floor... I Would Say... Let The Boobies Hit The Floor!

I Want Tna To Grow As A Company, It’s Better For Me As A Performer And Me As A Businessman. But How Can They Grow If Every Chance They Get They Are Constantly Talking About Up North And The Wwe?

There Are A Lot Of Similarities Between Dancing And Wrestling. The Costumes Are The Same, The Spandex And All That, But You Have To Be Light On Your Feet To Do Both, And You Have To Remember Choreography.

Obviously, People Are Going To Think What They Think, And I've Never Had Any Problems Proving People Wrong. I Do What I Do.

I Think A Chris Jericho Triple Dvd Set Is A Great Present. I Don't What My Kids Are Complaining About.

All Right, New York City! Welcome To Madison... Square... Jericho! And After Tonight, When I Become The True, Undisputed Intercontinental Champion, The Jerichoholics Of The Big Apple Will Throw A Celebration Party That Will Make The Millennium Bash In Times Square Look Like My Sister's Seventh Birthday Party! It'll Be A Celebration So Huge, So Grandiose, So Spectacular, That It Will Never, Eeeeeeeever, Be Forgotten Again!

All I Ask Is For People To Trust Me.

After 10 Years Tna Talent Still Have An Inferiority Complex. If You Don't Think That You Work For The Best Company Ever Then Nobody Else Will! As A Performer You Hav To Act And Project That Where You Work Is The Pinnacle Of Competition! If Not Then The Whole Place Just Seems Second Rate.

If You Want To See Chris Jericho Drink A Beer With Stone Cold Steve Austin, Give Me A Doo-a Dee-dee-dam, Dee-dee-doo.

Lo, I Am The Most Stupendous In The Land At My Particular Profession.

Back In The Hood After A Tremendous Aussie Tour! Thanks To All Who Rocked With Us, I Promise It Won't Be Another 5 Yrs Before We Return! Best News Is I'm Off For The Rest Of The Year Now! Time To Get Krunk.

You've Got A Man-beast, And A Ho-beast.

I Remember When I Was A Kid That The Only Way To See Hulk Hogan Wrestle Was You'd Have To Go To The Live Shows. He Was Never On Tv. So I Thought "why Not Do The Same Thing?"

As A Matter Of Fact I Could Beat You Two With Both My Arms And My Legs Tied. I'll Roll Down This Ramp And Score Myself A 7-10 Idiot Split!

Welcome To Raw, Is, Jericho!

My Days Of Being A Full Time Wrestler Are Over. Nothing Wrong With That, That's Just The General Progression Of Your Career And Your Life.

A Lot Of People Don't Realize That Wrestling Is Acting; You're Playing A Role And A Part.

I've Always Been Pretty Good At Remembering The Details About Certain Things.

Wrestling Is Part Of What I Do, But Far From The Only Thing.

Of Course You Have An E-mail, You Idiot, Just Read It!

Shawn Michaels Is Quite Simply The Greatest Performer In Wwe History.

Am I A Workaholic? Yes, But I Also Have No Problem Taking Time For Myself.

I'd Told Taker Before The Promo That I Was Gonna Stick It To Him And He Told Me To Go For It. However, I Crossed The Line And Insulted Him By Saying What I Said. I Can't Believe The Lack Of Respect I Showed Him And So Many Of The Other Guys In The Locker Room During My First Month In The Company, Especially Since I Knew How Important The Hierarchy Of The Business Was (and Still Is). Respect Your Elders.

I Like To Do Something Different That People Don't Expect. That's What I've Always Been About, In Everything I Do.

I Really Don't Care If Stephanie Enjoys Kissing Kurt Angle. Or If Kurt Angle Enjoys Kissing Stephanie. Or Hell, If Kurt Angle Enjoys Kissing Triple H! Cause As Far As I'm Concerned All Three Of You Can Kiss My Ass!

Well Stephanie, I'd Like To Thank You For Giving Me Such A Kind Christmas Gift, But Unfortunately I Didn't Get You Any Gifts. But Then Again, What Can You Get For The Girl Whose Had Everyone?

I've Never Been The Type Of Person To Stick With The Same Thing Or Be Complacent Or Rest On My Laurels.

Welcome To Raw Is Jericho! And I Was Just Listening To Your List Of Problems And Grievances That You Have With All My Jerichoholics, And I Have A Solution - And That Solution Is To Shut The Hell Up. But Finally, Al Snow, Tomorrow People Will Be Acknowledging You - They Will Be Talking About The Greatest Moment Of '99 - They'll Be Talking About The Night That Al Snow Was Brutally Beaten By The Ayatollah Of Rock N Rolla.

In Wwe There's A Huge Degree Of Acting You Need To Have To Become Legendary, To Become Popular. You Have To Become A Great Actor In Wwe And That's Something I've Honed From A Young Age. I Could Never Be The Biggest Guy On The Show When I First Started Wrestling; It Was All About The Giants. But I Could Have The Biggest Personality, The Biggest Character.

I'm From Winnipeg, You Idiot!

The Only Rumors Worth Listening To Have Stevie Nicks On Vocals.

When You Get Some Success, You Want More. When You Get One Mountain Climbed, You Want To Climb The Next One.

I Am The Ayatollah Of Rock 'n' Rolla

When You Stop Being Nervous Is When You Should Retire. I'm Always A Little Nervous For Anything I Do Because When Complacency Sets In, That's When I Feel It's Time To Move On To Something Else.

Time To Move On

Undisputed Ends When I Return To The Wwe In 2007. There Is Already 3 ½ Years Of Material Including The 3 Best Years Of My Career. Undisputed Is Going To Do Even Better Than A Lion's Tale, There Is No Reason To Not Do #3. The Material I Have For #3 Is Just As Good As The First 2. I Still Have A Few Years To Go Before I Write But I Would Definitely Like To Write Another One. But It Is Not About The Numbers, It Is About The Quality. If I Don't Think It Would Be As Good, I Won't Do It

What's Best For Business Is Just Continue To Have An Entertaining Product With Great, Interesting Characters.

I Always Try To Be The Madonna Of Wrestling In That She Always Changed Her Look And Her Style, But She Always Stayed True To Herself As An Artist. That's The Best Way To Have Longevity In This Business, For Sure.

I Never Want To Hide My Wrestling Background.

That's The Best Way To Live Your Life: Don't Listen To What Other People Think. Just Follow Your Heart.

You Can't Wrestle Forever. It's A Very Physically Taxing Job. There's No Doubt About It. Physically, And More Importantly, Mentally.

I Don't Ever Really List Things That I Want To Do. The Only Two Things That I've Ever Wanted To Do Are Be In A Rock Band And Be A Wrestler. Those Were My Two Goals.

I'm A Great Whittler. I Can Whittle A Marshmallow Stick Really Quickly. I Don't Think Anyone Whittles Anymore, They Should!

You Will Never Ever Be The Same Again!

Did You Ever Know That You're A Jackass?

There's No Limit To What You Can Accomplish In The World Of Entertainment. It's All I've Ever Known Since I Was 19.

Some Things Are Going To Work, Some Aren't. But There's Always Something New Going On, So It's Fun To Watch And See What's Coming Next.

You Have To Connect With The Crowd. If You Can't Do That, I Don't Care How Good A Wrestler You Are, Or How Much Muscle You Have Or How Cool Your Hair Is. You Have To Connect With The Crowd. The Guys Who I Like Are The Ones Who Have That Connection.

Thank You Stephanie, You’re The Breast… I Mean Best!

The Only People Who Try To Tell You That You Can’t Do Something, Are The People Who Have Failed

I Think There Are So Many Guys Coming Up That Are Ready To Bust Loose. All They Need Is That One Little Flame Of Confidence That Starts The Inferno. And When You Get Those Guys, Once It Starts Happening, Nothing Can Stop You. And You Can Tell Which Guys Have It. You Always Know Which Guys Have It.

Everything's A Challenge, Man. You Just Have To Take Each Dance As Its Own Separate Thing And Just Go For It.

Queen Elizabeth, She's The Ultimate Hypocrite!

I Am Chris Jericho, Your New Hero! And I Am The New Millenium For The World Wrestling Federation!

It's Not What I Want, Trish. It's What You Want. It's What You Need. And Even Though We're Opponents Tonight In The 6 Person, Tag Team Table Match, I See How You Look At Me. You Could Cut The Sexual Tension Between Is With A Knife. So I Just Want To Let You Know No Matter The Outcome, I'm Always Available To Give To A Healthy Dose Of Vitamin C.

An Ordinary Day. I Get Up Early, Drive To The Airport, From There Driving To The Arena Where We Wrestle. Then If We Have A Show I Will Take Another Plane For My Destination. Otherwise I Will Take A Plane To Return Home And Fall In Bed Very, Very Late.

When You’re Good At Improv, Even When You’re Going To Deliver Somebody Else’s Line That They’ve Written, You’ve Got To Nail It. And Sometimes It’s Not Going To Be As Good As You Think, And You Have To Not Worry About Hurting Each Other’s Feelings. All That Matters Is The Product Itself. All That Matters Is The Show.

If You Don't Have The Confidence, It Doesn't Matter What You Do, You're Always Second-guessing Yourself.

Getting Dragged, Kicking And Screaming Out Of The Ring, Begging For Mercy From Whomever It Is That Fires Me, And Never Be Seen Again. That's How I Wanna Go Out. Haha, Yeah, I Don't Want Any.. Hero's Goodbye, Or A Big Send Off. I Don't Want A Retirement Ceremony. That's Not How I'm Built, I Just Wanna Disappear Into The Sunset And Have People, 'man, That Guy Was A Jerk. Wow, I'm Glad He's Gone.'

You Can't Come Back To Tv For Two Months. It's Too Short. You Can't Start Anything. It's Too Much Of A Tease And There's Really Nowhere You Can Go.

I've Always Had An Air Of Mystery.

Congratulations To One Of My Favorite Opponents And Greatest Rivals On Returning To The Wwe. The Rock Is The Best Promo Man Of All Time.

Congratulations

The Most Important Thing About Being In Wrestling Is That You Have To Connect With The Crowd, Connect With The Fans, And You Either Want Them To Love You, Or To Hate You. Either Way, So Long As They're Reacting To What You're Doing.

If You Stick Around Too Long, People Go On Looking For The Next Thing.
