The secret ingredient to every meal is love. And also garlic.
Hey, I live life by the moment. I have no regrets. I live it to the fullest. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and I'm learning from them. I'm 'The Situation.'
I've been in love. I believe in destiny and true love.
I'm limitless. Glass is always half full.
If you don't go the gym, you don't look good. If you don't tan, you're pale. If you don't do laundry, you don't got no clothes.
I never regret anything.
I will eat a hot dog but I'm not big into hot dogs.
You can hate on me all you want to, but what can you possibly say to somebody that looks like Rambo, pretty much, with his shirt off.
Some days I'm Uncle Situation, other days I'm Dr. Situation, I'm Chef Situation.
When you see The Situation in person, it can startle some people.
In the beginning of my career, everybody knew it, it was no secret that I loved the spotlight. I basked in it. And then all of a sudden, I turned into this person who was reclusive, or hiding.
I was practicing intermittent fasting while I was in prison. My window of intermittent fasting was between 16 and 17 hours on the weekdays, and 18 and 19 hours on the weekends.
Oh my God, to be a free man, to be honest with you, it's awesome. It's fantastic.
I was born with a mic in my hand.
At the end of the day, stick up for yourself whether you have spiky hair, long hair, blonde hair, black hair, whatever it is, stick up for yourself and go for your dreams because at the end of the day, you can pretty much accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.
Everybody loves me, babies, dogs, yah know, hot girls, cougars.
Everybody when they're little wants to be on billboards or on TV.
Losing is not an option for me.
Miami has beautiful women, beaches and weather.
I love a challenge.
Listen, the conditions in prison as a whole - you're not sleeping in a comfortable bed, you're not eating good food, and this is for long periods of time.
You can see how prison could affect some of the other guys that are there for longer than a year. Because eventually, it starts to eat away at you. And if you don't work at yourself mentally or physically or spiritually, eventually you're going to be swallowed up by circumstance.
I was very proud of the 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation' that was airing on TV.
I was just proud of myself that, even under extreme stress and adversity, I was still able to do my job and do it well. And still able to earn an income while in prison.
When you realize that your freedom is being taken away from you, you're like, 'You know what, I'm not going to get good food in prison, so I'm going to order McDonald's, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A.' We're turning up and living our best life, and I did that.
I felt very accomplished staying busy in prison.
You sort of take your freedom for granted sometimes.
People are so happy to meet me. Stars come up and want to take their picture with me.
I'm like a pretty deep dude.
That hater-juice is best served cold.
Every day when I wake up, I gotta go to the gym.
I arrange my other activities around my workout. I have to organize my body, mind and health first.
On the 'Jersey Shore,' people got a glimpse through a keyhole of who I really am. But the world really started to see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' I am not the best dancer. That was never my strong point. But I wanted to let people know, hey, this kid is risking a lot just to know a different side of him.
I can play many roles, a guy who takes on a challenge on very short notice with potentially damaging results, if I make the wrong move... I shoot for the stars. If I get the moon, I'm OK with that.
I definitely am aggressive - I'm not saying I'm not - but at the same time, I'm sweet and I'm genuine and I'm generous and I'm respectful.
The way you see me on 'Jersey' is a snapshot, and you can't judge from a snapshot.
I love being an entertainer. It's almost been a lifelong journey to find out what I wanted to do.
My license plate I did get registered, and it is S-I-T-C-H... so that's pretty cool.
On the back of my car, it says 'The Situation' in letters. It's pretty fun. I work so much, I've been blessed to be busy, but when I have time and I'm able to drive my car, which is a couple times here and there, you know, it says 'Situation' on the back of the car, and people are honking the horn and fist-pumping, and it's really, really cool.
I've realized what I want to do in life in that I just love being in front of the camera.
I'm really grateful for all the support from my fans.
The real Mike is somebody who is a positive person, a generous person. A loyal person. Somebody that's gonna help you if you call me up and say, 'Mike, I got a flat tire.' I'm there, you know?
In the beginning of 'Jersey Shore,' for sure, that was the real Mike. That's the Mike that I know, that's the Mike I love. And that's the Mike I strive to be every day.
I'm just saying that being in this business is not easy, and it's definitely not for everybody.
You can't get girls if you can't speak to them.
As soon as someone hears the name 'Situation,' they're gonna kind of know that it's gonna be good.
It's very hard for me to write back to some of the fan mail, so one of the things I wanted to do was reach out through a book.
There's enough Situation to go around.
