Jake Roberts

A child’s hope is that your father comes riding in on that white stallion and saves them. You can’t make somebody love you the way you want them to love you, it’s not a Leave it to Beaver type world. This isn’t television. Life’s a lot more cruel than that.

The snake will always bite back.

I went to visit my father to tell him that I was going to go to college and become an architect – that was my dream. I was like, yeah I graduated from school, but it’s not like you showed up for that. But all he was worried about is whether or not I wanted money from him.

You know what, when you screw up in the ring, it’s so embarrassing.

Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing, I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game, and if the kids can learn from our mistakes, that would make me a happy man.

I did it the stupid way, through trial and error.

It’s the sad thing about entertainment, it’s not always about who is the best.

Miserable is a good thing, though. If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day.

Every moment is an experience.
