I know who I am, and that never changes.

A lot of fights in my life have been avoided through confidence and demeanor, so that's pretty masculine also.

I know what I like, and I'm not trying to search for who I am.

As far as fighting, I just love to fight and enjoy my life more because of that. I think that it is pretty apparent to those who know me that I do this because of the love. I am not looking to get famous or acquire a bunch of cash. I am following my passion and that's what is about for me.

Living the dream is simply a form of living out your passion, of making that passion gradually, through persistence and effort, a central part of your life.

The key thing is confidence, and you get that from the actions that you take. It can be anything from getting chicks, being in a fight, having success at work, having a good family. A lot of that stuff comes from having confidence, so that's one of the biggest things.

I was raised in a bit of a hippie environment. I was lying around naked until I was two, having a good time. I think the California mentality is laid back and I definitely embody that.
