Defeat is only a defeat when we don't learn anything.

A true champion is not only formed in victory. To be defeated makes you learn.

I'm a natural born sniper.

You can't change your attitude because you're the champion. I've always kept my feet on the ground and never wanted to change.

In the morning, wonder and be generous like the sun. In the evening, meditate and be kind like the moon.

In the winter she curls up around a good book and dreams away the cold.

I'm a positive guy, even if I don't smile a lot.

I always felt like my future was at stake every time I stepped on stage and that was kind of hair-raising. At some point I just went, don't be frightened, you can't do anything wrong, it's your show.

Time passes by like lightning. Before you know it you're struck down.

I don't know if experimental is a word I would ever use comfortably.

When I go to Europe or South America, they laugh at things that are totally different than what Americans would laugh at. It's just so crazy how we're so different in personalities with other people.

God is by definition the holder of all possible knowledge, it would be impossible for him to have faith in anything. Faith, then, is built upon ignorance and hope.

Luxury, to me, is not owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.

Poetry increases the feeling for reality.
