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

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.

I use discipline and focus as my greatest weapons.

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.

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.

Doing our best and doing it better everyday will help us lead our lives with peace of mind.

Music is the primordial language of life. That is why we love it so much. Actually every animal can hear and understand music better than we do.

Life is not meant to be easy. But it can be simple.

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.

I never liked you, and I always will.

I was forced to make the decision between art and music which are the only two things I liked as opposed to being able to do them both because that's what I was interested in.

Most people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom.

The bit that one eates, no friend makes.

The night is there, we're trying to ignore the night, the night was always there as children.

Previously known for its six syllables of sweetness and light, reconciliation has become the political fighting word of the year.
