I use discipline and focus as my greatest weapons.

If you don't give up, eventually you will break the cycle and you will overcome any obstacle.

Every time you achieve a dream, you must set another one. Because that will strengthen your path. Or you will become dead, because if you have no dreams, you have no life.

The Samurai always has to rise and move on, because new challenges will come.

You can have talent and strength, but the most important is determination.

I try to clear my mind of everything, I try to think of nothing. I just let my body act, the body can take control and do what it's trained to do.

My philosophy is the same as a Samurai: To hit without getting hit.

To be happy is very important to do a great performance because you have to be comfortable; your mind has to be clear.

If you gave up, you've already lost. If you keep going, you get to a new level.

Before a fight I empty my mind. Every fighter is able to lose. It is not a big thing. You have to accept what comes and remain calm.

I never fear my opponent, for me he only represents a new challenge to conquer.

We are not trying to solve the world's problems... However, even in the midst of hatred and killing, there are things worth living for. A wonderful encounter, or a thing of beauty can still exist.

Just start writing and you'll find what you want to say.

Dietrich would never do that
