- Straightedge means that I am better than you.
- Straight Edge isn't a gimmick! It's a way of life.
- Haters are my favorite. I've built an empire with the bricks they've thrown at me. Keep on hating.
- If you give me the ball, you'll never see it again. Because I'll knock it out of the fucking park.
- I don't want to sound egotistical, but I'm egotistical to an extent.
- Different people are afforded different opportunities. I've been given some awesome opportunities, and I feel that I've always knocked them out of the park. But I've always been scaled back after that.
- Pete and Repeat are in a boat, Pete jumps out who's left in the boat?
- I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I kick people in the face for a living. So, if that's something you're into - if you like watching people get kicked in the face - come see me. I'll probably be your favorite wrestler
- Sometimes it's what you don't do that makes you who you are.
- I am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar, and he split just like I'm splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship.
- CM has always stood for one thing: Chicago Made. Chick Magnet? That's preposterous. Girls don't like me. I was born and raised in Chicago. The city made me. Punk is just because I've always been a smart-mouthed, wise-ass punk. I still am. I was the guy, if a bunch of football players were messing with one of my friends, I'd walk over there and spit in their face.
- I'd much rather be a one-hit wonder than a phony.
- I'm the kind of person that if I'm not getting something that I need from somewhere. I don't cry about it, I'm like OK I'm going to go here and find what I need.
- Don't let these tattoos fool you. I'm straight edge. I'm a man of great discipline; I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs... my addiction is wrestling - my obsession is competition. Discipline. My name is C...M...Punk.
- Whatever your walk in life is, you pick what you want to be, then go ahead and be the best one.
- When you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God
- I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that's just me. That's how I live my life.
- I've never worn a dress shirt that's been comfortable. I've always just worn dress shoes. On more than one occasion, I've heard that a champion should dress like a champion. But I'm a champion because of who I am. Who I am is not that guy. If everybody wears three-piece suits, everyone looks the same.
- Please. Thank you. Learn it. Love it. Or be disappointed.
- I think it's because I'm real. Inside and outside of the ring, what you see is what you get. I'm CM Punk. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm not trying to lie to the people or be fake. I'm not trying to be some crazy, outlandish character. I'm real and they appreciate that. Everything I say, it comes from the heart. It's all real.
- I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that's just me. That's how I live my life. That stuff never appealed to me and I never understood getting so messed up that you can't even walk home or remember the previous night. I choose to live my life without it.
- I would much rather be hated for who I am, then loved for something that I am not.
- A lot of people in the WWE try to paint themselves as outlaws and rebels and I really honestly believe I'm the only one left. I always do what I want and I never get any flack for it. I don't know if it's because they know they're not gonna win, or it's not worth fighting me over. Plus I don't see what the big deal is about me wearing a Cabana shirt. The guy should be working there, first of all, and it's promoting my friend. I don't see what the big deal is.
- I hear you guys all the time talking about Daniel Bryan, trained by Shawn Michaels. One curious thing to me is, how come you guys never mention William Regal? William Regal did the real work with this young man. Shawn Michaels took $3,000 from him, that's all he ever did.
- If something sucks, I've always been completely vocal about it, and I've been punished many, many times because of that. But I don't think I'd be in the spot I'm in right now if I wasn't me. I've always just been me.
- All your heroes are dead! I killed them!
- I pride myself on being a jerk, because I'm brutally honest all the time.
