I was very dedicated and serious about fighting. I'd read about all the fighters. I found out where they came from, knew about their mothers and their fathers . . . I just read all about their lives, their training.

It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading.

I've lived places these guys can't defecate in.

My main objective is to be professional but to kill him.

When I go to Europe or South America, they laugh at things that are totally different than what Americans would laugh at. It's just so crazy how we're so different in personalities with other people.

I'm sorry I let everybody down, I'm fighting just to pay my bills. I don't have the stomach for this anymore... I don't have the desire for it. I feel bad for the people... I wish they could get their money back.

Most writers, in my opinion, are dysfunctional derelicts.
