Everything I do is true to the person I am. To me, there’s not too much distinction between Elias and my former name. Elias Read Quote
When I say I’m the biggest musical act on the face of the planet, I really mean that. I’m in front of tens of thousands of people, millions around the world, performing every week. Is there anybody else that’s doing that? I don’t think so. Elias Read Quote
If it was up to me, I would be given ample time to do a full on performance. I would play all of the instruments that I can play, really show off to the world, then maybe have an Intercontinental title match and follow that up, maybe go out against somebody like The Undertaker or John Cena, anybody that can really top off a great performance.

At Wrestlemania, I’d love to wrestle John Cena; I’ve got a lot of issues with that guy. Elias Read Quote
There was a time that I was The Drifter in NXT, and I did not want to break my guitar because that was the only guitar I had. Elias Read Quote
It’s tough to say what separates me from everyone else. I guess it’s one of the things that the audience feels as soon as the spotlight hits me. All I can say is that I’m being as true to myself the best way I can. Elias Read Quote
It was when I got to NXT with Dusty Rhodes, being the creative force he was, and told us to bring our most creative side every single week. One of those weeks, I brought the guitar and started telling stories while I played, and it just evolved from there. Elias Read Quote
The Drifter was this guy where I’d put a guitar on my shoulder and walk from town to town, find my way however I can, whether it’s hitchhiking, on a bus, walking, whatever I’ve gotta do. Elias Read Quote
