As long as I have that support from my team, and I have that confidence in myself that I train really hard, I think there's no one out there who can defeat me in my weight class.

The best feeling is to win by knockout.

As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.

I just wanna live the moment and just take every moment and embrace it because life is short.

I was one of those kids that was always picked on but, one thing I gotta say it that no matter how bad your life gets, there's always a bright light out there and you gotta find it.

I seek to fight the best out there. I seek to fight the champions in every division I go up to.

If you try your best, you can always be better.

The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.

Always push beyond what you can do.

Growing up, I kind of adopted that mentality, going all out, being a warrior.

I'm training everyday, even though I should be resting.

I have only one heart to give and one mind to lose. May I someday find a woman who will take them both.

Live the way life does, love the way they does

You should never make a decision the day before your period.

I can't say I'm one way or the other because I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is.

Things seem to fall apart inevitably.

When I'm painting outdoors, I only have time to think about what I'm saying, not how I'm saying it.

When is enough enough? In envy's eyes, enough never is. Somebody else always has something we want.

Grief is natural; the absence of all feeling is undesirable, but moderation in grief should be observed, as in the face of all good or evil.

Obviously, guns are a way to protect yourself.

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.
