I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I'm not very good at taking compliments. It's better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.

I want to be a good human being.

Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands before you eat. Be aware of good clean water and food sources.

It's dangerous to assert oneself.

The sweet air coming into your house on a fine day, from water etched with waves as formal as the scales on a fish.

Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.

I am greedy, and most importantly, game for what's next.
