My wife calls me grumpy cat. I'm normally a very pleasant person to be around.

What inspires me in life? The idea that the work and the rewards and the process is the thing.

Mother Nature is a pretty good bioterrorist.

I try not to be judgmental. I meditate twice a day. I get some sort of physical exercise. I infuse my life with love. I love what I do, the job.

If people are talking about my weight cut all the time and are telling me how skinny I like, you have to respect the audience. You also have to respect all of the fighters who do this.

My whole day revolves around food. If you think you've won the day, only because you haven't eaten over 1,000 calories, you know that things are off-kilter. That's not a healthy way to be thinking.

I really realized how much happier I am when I'm doing projects that I'm chosen to do, and on the flip side, how much unhappier I am on projects that make me feel uncomfortable.

I infuse my life with love. I love what I do, the job.

I'm trying to be really synced. It goes back to the idea that, ultimately, the reward is the work.

You have to defend your character. That's your job, if they're hiring you. That doesn't mean you can't collaborate, but you do have to make some big, bold choices. We do that in real life, too.

You think about acting kind of as an iceberg where you've got that 5% that you see... but in order to have that 5%... you have to have another 95%.

If I have nothing but a room full of books, it is enough for me to survive life.

Blessing come to you when you are obedient to God’s commands.

True wisdom is hidden in the fear of the Lord.

When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.

There is no more powerful leadership tool than your own personal example.

I believe in spirits, not ghosts.

When the going gets tough, the tough eat ribs.

There is much institutionalized racism in The Netherlands and the non-White population is just now beginning to fight for their rights.

An honest politician is either a hypocrite - or he is doomed.

People who try to be nice are false. They're liars. You should never force your behavior to be a certain way. You should just be. Maybe it's not going to be nice, but at least it'll be honest.
