Matt Hardy

"I know people don't like others knowing about their personal lives, but I don't do anything in my life that I couldn't tell other people about. That's how I try to live my life. Being in the public eye, and I've said it before, Matt Hardy is an open book. I don't things I'm ashamed of or things I shouldn't be doing. Really, it's no big deal if people know what's going on, especially if they're a fan. I don't mind letting those people in. Everything I do, I can tell you about. I live my life like an open book."

"I'm the type of guy who, I promise you, every time I get in that ring, especially if given the correct amount of time, I'm going to put in everything I have in my body. I'm going to put everything I have in my body to put in the performance of a lifetime. I guarantee it. That comes with the stamp of Matt Hardy. You're always going to get the best that I can give that night."

"...the people who are my tried and true fans, they know that if they ever meet me out somewhere, I definitely go out of my way for them. I was born and raised that way, and I know without them, there would be no me. I don't ever want to be that guy who gets too big to take time to sign an autograph or take a picture because I just know, without those fans, I'm nobody. A lot of people forget that fact when they make it."

"Wrestling has become so entertainment based, and there are so many real-life issues between Edge and myself, people believe, because it is true, and that's what makes it so interesting and so compelling. That's what has been missing in today's wrestling product, the ability to believe in a storyline. It's hard to believe storylines because people have seen and heard so much."

"...cage matches, TLC matches, ladder matches, even a street fight…it's fun to have those matches because you can really think outside the lines. It just opens up so many possibilities of trying new moves."
