“I don’t even train for these fights. I’m not mad when people say that because it’s true.”

My heart outweighs all the talent. If they’ve got more talent, I believe that my heart will still overcome that. You’ve got to have heart to step inside the octagon anyway.

You know, once you have the belt you want to be less active, fighting once a year.

If I was really trying to be the best fighter in the world, I would be in the best shape and taking it more serious but I’m not.

I’ll fight anyone.

All of my fights, especially all of my UFC fights my whole career, I’ve never been in there without any kind of impingement and pain wrong with my back.

I’ve been in that situation many times before – where I’m losing and I have to knock a guy out.

I know I only need one punch to knock any guy out.

I don’t know how to do takedowns.

I don’t care if I ever fight for the belt or get the belt.

I don’t care what people think.

I know I’m the least technical guy in the sport. Most of the champions or guys at the top are real martial artists.

That’s what really gets me going, thinking about my past. I think about all the tough times and bad times I’ve had in my life and I bring all that into the Octagon. That’s only because it’s hard going in there trying to fight someone who didn’t do anything to you.

I grew up watching my mom and my stepdad fight.

I set some goals for myself. I really want to run through this whole heavyweight division.

I really don’t punch with my left hand anyways.

The only reason I want to climb up the rankings – beating the champion and beating guys in the top five – those are the guys that get the endorsements and get the most money and get paid the most. That’s the only reason why.

If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people’s expectations, then you can go mad.

I was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.

Whom the mad would destroy, first they make gods.

Every actor is somewhat mad, or else he’d be a plumber or a bookkeeper or a salesman.

If you look at the history of advertising, most of them were Jews, so it was only a matter of time before ‘Mad Men’ explored that area of advertising.

Nothing’s riding on this, except the First Amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters, but if you guys f-k up again, I’m gonna get mad.

I’ll tell you a secret. We live in a mad and inspiring world.

The world exists on thousands of different levels and just because some are more tragic than others, it doesn’t make them any more valid. You fall into that way of thinking and you become so overwhelmed by the world’s suffering, you go mad.
