I'll take any risk there is.

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 was an athlete when I was growing up.

What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

The star thing, the celebrity thing, is new to me.

When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

I love music. I do play. It's like mathematics, and it's also emotional. It's nice to play, for no other reason than just to play.
