Best 85 quotes of Chris Jericho on MyQuotes

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.

A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock 'n roll, hosting, acting - it's the same thing.

All I ask is for people to trust me.

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!

A lot of people don't realize that wrestling is acting; you're playing a role and a part.

Am I a workaholic? Yes, but I also have no problem taking time for myself.

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.

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!

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.

Comedy is commitment and playing a character and falling into the role, and I've been doing that since I was 19 years old.

Don't you touch me again. I will knock you out, junior!

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.

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.'

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 am Chris Jericho, your new hero! And I am the new millenium for the World Wrestling Federation!

I am the best in the world at what I do!

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.

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'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.

If I'm a "B player," that's because the "B" stands for badass.

If Shakespeare was alive today, he'd be writing wrestling shows.

If you don't have the confidence, it doesn't matter what you do, you're always second-guessing yourself.

If you stick around too long, people go on looking for the next thing.

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.

I have a journalism degree, but I'd rather be the person who is being written about rather than the person who is writing.

I have passion for music just like I have passion for wrestling, just like I have passion for creating and acting.

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.

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'm a great whittler. I can whittle a marshmallow stick really quickly. I don't think anyone whittles anymore, they should!

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.

I'm from Winnipeg, you idiot!

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.

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.

I never want to hide my wrestling background.

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.

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.

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 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!

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?

I think a Chris Jericho triple DVD set is a great present. I don't what my kids are complaining about.

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.

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.

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'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!

I've never been the type of person to stick with the same thing or be complacent or rest on my laurels.

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?

I wish you the beast of luck!

Live events are notorious for being pressure free. Stress free. It's all about just doing the match. Doing what you feel.

Now you're the Queen of Hardcore, but movies don't count!

Obviously, people are going to think what they think, and I've never had any problems proving people wrong. I do what I do.
