One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'

One of my mom's best lines is... You're not training to be the best in the world, you're training to be the best in the world on your worst day.

You have to have fear in order to have courage.

Judo taught me that I am capable of anything... I can mentally push past anything and be victorious.

Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.

I'm scared of failure all the time. But not scared enough to stop trying.

Don't doubt, don't stop... The only 2 things that can stop you is to stop working and start doubting.

You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.

I train to be the best in the world on my worst day

It's your purpose to leave the world better than how you found it.

Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean its not real

Sports are in my soul. That's what drives me.

I am not systematic at all when it comes to religion. I just love life. And I'm not judgmental. And I'm a vegetarian.

Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under Hisfeet.

I can feel a phoenix inside of me. I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames calling out my name.

Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything.

My own goals center around writing the best music that I can, and only I can determine whether or not I've succeeded in accomplishing that.

There are damn few great writers and I'm not one of them. While I could afford to I played with words. When I could no longer afford that I wrote for money.

There is no one just like you, and there never will be anyone just like you, so there's no reason not to be original.

True kindness is rooted in a deep sense of abundance, out of which flows a sense that even as I give, it is being given back to me.
