If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.

There was a long time I had no job security, no options and no education.

My father would say, 'Ronnie, you're going to be someone special. Whatever it is that you want to do, you're going to be the best in the world at it.'

No one has the right to beat you.

Look at my face. Does it look like I can take a good hit?

I am vulnerable; that's why I fight.

There have been times in my adolescence where I gave up. I was like, 'I'm just never going to be pretty. I'm never going to be like one of those people on the front of magazines.' It always seemed really strange to me that the projection of how people are in advertisements looked nothing like the people who were actually buying them. You know what I mean? I never understood that mismatch, and now I really start to see that the people you see in the media are a lot more like people actually are.
