Fighting is my career, it's what I love to do, but I am taking offers and trying to expand because the more I expand myself, the more valuable I become to promoters.

Laws are not masters but servants, and he rules them who obey them.

There is no life in thee, now, except that rocking life imparted by a gently rolling ship; by her, borrowed from the sea; by the sea, from the inscrutable tides of God.

Everything they’d been brought up not to do, they could do at a rock-and-roll show.
