I got a little bit of the Marine mentality from my dad, I guess. You can't but help absorb the culture you're around.

You really can't worry about stuff you can't control... You need to focus on getting where you need to be and not worry about what could have been and what should have been.

I don't need to do all the trash talking. I try to do it with my fists, my knees, and my feet.

It's all about getting better and controlling the things that you can control, which is getting better day to day.

Even in the losses, I always saw glimpses of something that kept me going.

I've been through a lot of ups and downs. Just willing to get back up and grind every day to try and get better.

I'm looking forward, that's all, I'm not looking backwards.

Blood always aids blood, my friend.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

I've seen a lot of people buy my books and then fall asleep on the plane soon afterwards.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

In America, nostalgia for things is apt to set in before they go.
