Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever.

I wouldn't mind getting emotionally involved with a woman.

It's like a kettle. If it's a kettle, you turn the kettle off, you know what I mean? I wish I could put a hole in my head and let the steam come out. The steam was getting so high and the pressure was just getting a little bit much for me.

When you're a man you try and be macho.

For example, I like using strong Greek and Roman Renaissance characters as part of my series.

But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

People take the mickey out of mental health, but it is very delicate.
