Big Show on career longevity: “I think my secret’s always been adaptability”

“I think my secret’s always been adaptability. Even though I’ve been the same character for 20-plus years, my attitude in the business has always evolved to the needs of whatever I needed to do for the show. I think a lot of people give me grief for having a lot of turns, having more heel turns than NASCAR. No, that just means that the company has faith in me to get the job done at the time that’s what they need to do and I’m able to execute it. I’ve just always had an open mind. I never forgot how much fun I have in the business. You know, a wise man once told me that, you know, when you’re in a competitive business like this, treat every day like the first day on the job and you’ll always be successful because the first job your mind’s always open and it’s not closed. And I’ve always kept my mind open to evolve in this business.”
