I am a believer, I am believer that we shape and create the life that we choose, and I believe that the tool that we have to do that, is our mind.

In the mind of every artist there is a masterpiece

I never gave up, even when people told me I'd never make it; Never underestimate the heart of a champion.

It's like you have to save your own life, nobody is going to be your savior for you, so we have to do what we have to do, no matter what it is

I've found my true calling in life, and I'm living life on my terms.

If you accuse me of being on drugs because I'm very focused on what I do, because I'm very serious, because I'm very hungry, because I can squat 800 lbs, because I can bench 500 lbs, because I can press 315 behind my neck, and if these things don't fit under what you consider to be natural, then I don't want to be a natural. I don't want to be what you depict as a natural. I want to define myself for me.

For me I'm natural not because somebody else believes I'm natural, I'm natural because I don't use steroids, I don't use growth hormone, I don't use any of those enhancers. I'm natural in my own right because I don't do that and not because other people accept the fact that I'm natural or not.
