CM Punk recently spoke with GQ YouTube (h/t Fightful) and talked about how fans invading his privacy is the most challenging part of being a WWE star, adding that when he’s not working as CM Punk, he just wants to be left alone. Highlights of his comments are below.

“One of the hardest parts of being a WWE Superstar for me, at least, is the relationship I have with fans in public. You see me on the street, I am not CM Punk. I’m just a dude, Phil, trying to mind his own business and walk his dog and not be bothered. When I’m at work, I give all to the fans. I show up to buildings, I go outside, and I will sign and take pictures with the fans who are lined up at the building. If you are waiting for me at an airport or a hotel, I will say, ‘No, thank you, sir. This is an airport and or a hotel; this is tantamount to stalking.’”
