The Detroit News has a new article online featuring quotes from Randy Orton. Below are the highlights:
The hectic WWE travel schedule: "The travel, nowadays, is almost tougher on my body than the actual wrestling... Sitting in a rental car and driving yourself at 4 or 5 in the morning, trying to get to the gym on four or five hours of sleep, trying to eat well and stay in shape, not getting sick and taking care of yourself, plus being 100 percent in the ring? It's hard to complain, you just sort of take it. It's part of the job."
The babyface direction of his character: "It's been a really organic transition... It wasn't something where we told people, hey, this guy's changing so you better like it. (The fans) turned me into something different. I'm not really a different character, I'm still the same guy that I was last year. I'm not necessarily a babyface... I'm kind of like a shade of gray."
