Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

If it's dive-bombing you from the air, bury yourself in the sand. It might lose sight of you. Also, no one likes to eat food covered in sand. No one.

Life is hard. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. But life without faith is even harder.

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, you just enjoy it. No sense feeling guilty about it.

Democracy is for infidels. A real Muslim is not a democrat because he doesn't care about the opinions of majorities and minorities don't interest him. He is only interested in what Islam says.

Anyone who promises you something that you have not earned is seeking to enslave you.

Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.

Air transport is just a glorified bus operation.

As a first approximation, I define belief not as the object of believing (a dogma, a program, etc.) but as the subject's investment in a proposition, the act of saying it and considering it as true.

Each match I play is the most important one yet.
