Michael Sorrentino
I'll be the first one to tell you if I made a mistake.
I'll be the first one to tell you if some girl turned me down.
I'm good in front of the camera in terms of speaking or entertaining or being humorous, but when it comes to dancing, you really got to know your stuff in order to be confident. You can freeze up or get stiff, and it's just not a good situation.
I pick my swimsuits just like I pick my women. As soon as I see it, I like it, and that's it. I get it real quick.
I do like Drake's 'Forever.'
I love to help others that are suffering from the disease of addiction, and I'm just very, very passionate about that.
I actually love to give back.
In a year's time, I was able to start a brand name and make it a household name. That's The Situation.
I'm in constant battle with MTV to see where the line falls. You know, the things I do and say and the things they profit on and the things I profit on.
I always had dreams, my whole life, of being somebody special. Someone out in the world that everybody knew of and everybody liked. Somebody unique. Even when I was down on my luck, in my head I still had those dreams.
Sometimes in people's lives, when bad stuff happens, their dreams just die, and they end up settling. I guess that's their decision, maybe, because they didn't believe in their dreams or forgot their dreams. My dreams never died.
I understand that there's going to be a shelf life for 'Jersey Shore.'
I've always been in unbelievable shape.
I like Armani Exchange, Guess, Rock & Republic. There's a lot of places. I'm not too picky. I like to be trendy, and I like to look good.
Everyone knows that I have abs.
It's actually a privilege to actually learn how to really dance.
I'll be honest: I'm not really the best at dancing.
Me and my wife have a really, really strong foundation.
I'm taking the name The Situation and I'm... like, I don't know, I'm turning it into The Corporation or something.
I am always looking for ways to expand my brand.
There are not too many places I can go without someone saying, 'Hey, can I take a picture of you with my daughter,' or whatever. I'm humble when it comes to that stuff. I never refuse a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. The fans are the ones who put me where I am today.
The Situation' - my name, or my character - is known worldwide now.
There's a single with D.J. Class and Fatman Scoop - I'm not going to claim to be a singer, but my voice is in it and the song is technically about me.
I have a tell-all book about where I came from, as well as a workout video.
Every day I wake up and my popularity gets bigger and bigger.
At 25, I had lost my job due to the economy, and my family wanted me to become a policeman or firefighter, but I knew there were other things out there for me. I sent some pictures to New York City and a model agency called and said, 'Where have you been?'
When I first told people the name 'Situation'... they were like, 'That's the best thing I've ever heard.'
I work very hard on my body, and I'm not just known for my six-pack or my body. I also believe that I have pretty good camera presence.
My whole life has been a search for finding myself, pretty much.
It is a part of my personality, but not the full circle. That character that you see is 'The Situation.' It's not Michael Sorrentino. You're seeing 'The Situation,' almost like Clark Kent and Superman.
Everybody goes through their own tribulations in life.
There's only so long you can rule the reality world.
When you look at my astonishing physique you probably think to yourself, This kid must eat nothing but molten steel. That's a common misconception.
I am a real person with real fears, hopes and dreams.
I have so much respect for our troops.
This disease of addiction has touched not just me but millions of Americans out there. Me being in the spotlight, I want to tell my story because there are a lot of misconceptions. I want to let people out there know that there's hope.
I did 'Jersey Shore 6' sober, and you really just concentrate on yourself and just being the best person that you can be or be better than you were the day before.
I can speak a little Italian.
I don't really feel the need to defend myself for having a six-pack.
I believe you have three loves in your life and one true love. I really do.
I'm worried about taking care of myself and working out and taking my body to the best it could be.
Be confident in what you got.
My abs are so ripped up they're called 'The Situation.'
All the girls in Australia are hot.
If you're looking your best, you're going to feel your best. If you feel your best you're going to act pretty charming and when you walk into the room, they're going to be like damn, who is that?
The must haves at a Super Bowl party are women, music and some chips and dips.
I am a boxer-brief man.
My ideal woman is beautiful inside and out.
