I’m a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.

Fighting is not physical, fighting is spiritual. It’s the determination and the will in the guy.

We’re all going to have tests in our life… We never know when that test comes, but we know we have to be prepared for it. We’re all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.

Sometimes during a relationship, a friendship, a friend’s gonna have to prove they’re your friend, and you’re gonna have to prove you’re their friend.

You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.

God is directing your steps. He may not have sent the storm, but He is in control of the storm.

I love directing, I really do. The whole concept of being in control of a presentation, particularly a movie or a show where you’re dealing with actors and crew.

Vulnerability is not about winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up even when you can’t control the outcome.

You have it in your control to determine what this country’s gonna look like the next four years.

My power. My control. My freedom. Unleashed.

Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small.
