It's not about the past or the future, it's about right now.

Nobody is born a winner, but anyone can develop the way of thought that guides you to the right direction.

A black belt doesn't mean anything. The meaning is in the journey.

When it comes to fighting you shouldn't be thinking at all. You have to clear your mind and trust yourself completely.

Martial arts is not about picking your fights and picking how things go; it's about adapting to the how things are.

I'm a very focused person. If I'm focusing on something I don't like distractions and I like to just do that one thing. And Jiu-Jitsu and MMA basically became that one thing for me.

An unhatched egg is to me the greatest challenge in life.

I live for those who love me, for those who know me true, for the heaven so blue above me, and the good that I can do.

I don't really do themes. I might accidentally, but themes are an emergent phenomena of the writing of the book, of just trying to get a story out there.

I don't think about wealth. I get one thing in my mind, "How can I help people...come on humans...do something, you know. Let's wake up. Man alive...you're half dead. Let's do some living".

You can never correct your work well until you have forgotten it.
