What I've learned from those losses... Priceless.

You really can't worry about stuff you can't control... You need to focus on getting where you need to be and not worry about what could have been and what should have been.

I don't need to do all the trash talking. I try to do it with my fists, my knees, and my feet.

It's all about getting better and controlling the things that you can control, which is getting better day to day.

Even in the losses, I always saw glimpses of something that kept me going.

I've been through a lot of ups and downs. Just willing to get back up and grind every day to try and get better.

I'm looking forward, that's all, I'm not looking backwards.

It's about falling down and getting back up.

It's all about... getting back up and getting back to work and striving to be the best you can be.

I did a lot of smoker fights and fought pretty much every week since Pat wouldn't let me fight until he was sure I was ready. I was also boxing and so I had 30 unofficial fights or more of those.

Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Sh*t is real.

A child’s greatest achievements are possible in play, achievements that tomorrow will become her basic level of real action.

Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.

Nothing that truly matters Can ever evaporate, Be excised, Burnt out of your soul.

I've spent my whole life learning how to do things that were hard for me.

Atheism is a religion itself complete with fanatics and bigots.
