Everything is a lesson, and there's always something to take and to learn. Whether you're winning championships or you have a losing season, you've consistently gotta go back to what you're passionate about and what has brought you to where you are today. For me, it's acting. It is the actual craft of it, and that takes work.

I'm trying to be really synced. It goes back to the idea that, ultimately, the reward is the work. The staying balanced, it requires you to know that the work you're doing right now is ultimately what is going to give you the sense of freedom that you're hoping to find in a more realized life.

What's unique for me, as an actor, is this idea that I don't have to be grounded to the natural law of things. I can pull things out of the air and communicate with other spirits and other elements in other languages or forms, but I'm still right here, on the earth. That's a lot of fun.

Just because you're well known doesn't mean you don't experience heartbreak or have a relationship that doesn't go the way you want it to, or you're not worried about the text that you just sent that girl and she hasn't responded.

There is a ferocity to MMA and to the training, but there's such a humanity to it too. It takes so much sacrifice and humility to get into it and to rise through those levels. If you look at the fights as a means to test who you are, every one of these fights is an opportunity to see how far you're willing to go up against yourself - and to find and define your limits.
