Sports Illustrated is very serious about their covers. They'll never say, like, 'Oh you got it.'

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'

One of my mom's best lines is... You're not training to be the best in the world, you're training to be the best in the world on your worst day.

You have to have fear in order to have courage.

Judo taught me that I am capable of anything... I can mentally push past anything and be victorious.

Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.

I'm scared of failure all the time. But not scared enough to stop trying.

Don't doubt, don't stop... The only 2 things that can stop you is to stop working and start doubting.

You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.

One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

I train to be the best in the world on my worst day

You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness.

I don't need to get paid. I just wanna open. I just wanna get in front of new people.

Every man's path is for himself; let him accomplish his own desires that he may thus be able to rise above them to the eternal goal.

The most magnificent creature in the entire world, the tiger is.

I am the world's worst good bridge player.

I've always just liked working. I like being a working actor.
