The only person that is going to tell you that you can’t do things in life are people who have failed.
Chris Jericho
I’ve always had an air of mystery.
Chris Jericho
Am I a workaholic? Yes, but I also have no problem taking time for myself.
Chris Jericho
A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock ‘n roll, hosting, acting – it’s the same thing.
Chris Jericho
I’ve always been the type of guy that wants to change, adapt and morph from year to year.
Chris Jericho
It’s always great to add to your legacy.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
When I was a kid, I wanted to be either a rock star or a wrestler.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
I would have to say that Canada definitely produces the best wrestlers; I don’t know why. I think Canada is a big wrestling country, and there are a lot of guys who are interested in wrestling in Canada.
Chris Jericho
I like to do something different that people don’t expect. That’s what I’ve always been about, in everything I do.
Chris Jericho
I love U.K. festivals because people go to watch as many bands as possible. They aren’t just there to see their favourites; they’ll be there all day long.
Chris Jericho
I have a journalism degree, but I’d rather be the person who is being written about rather than the person who is writing.
Chris Jericho
I don’t think I’d ever be able to give up the spotlight.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
I never want to hide my wrestling background.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
I’ve actually been in more Elimination Chamber matches than any other human being on the planet. It really has been a badge of honor for me.
Chris Jericho
I never was an amateur wrestler.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
I started playing music when I was 12 years old.
Chris Jericho
If you’re in the WWE, it’s like show business boot camp. You learn a little bit about everything as far as show business is involved.
Chris Jericho
I play a character in the WWE and everybody hates my character. I’m the evil villain bad guy. Whenever people meet me, they’re like, ‘Wow, you’re such a nice guy. We never expected that.’
Chris Jericho
You can’t wrestle forever. It’s a very physically taxing job. There’s no doubt about it. Physically, and more importantly, mentally.
Chris Jericho
I don’t really play a lot of games.
Chris Jericho
Most people use Twitter to meet girls, and I use it to meet ‘American Idol’ contestants!
Chris Jericho
Somebody actually tattooed my face on his arm. In a couple years, that will be the equivalent of having a Screech tattoo.
Chris Jericho
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.
Chris Jericho
In Mexico, wrestling is part of the cultural fabric. The guys wear masks and they are real-life superheroes.
