“I kind of love Cole Miller.”

Even when I was a kid, everything I had was the best.

I’m focusing on me. I’m focusing on my family’s security, my family’s financial security, so that’s all I can do.

Why go through life if you’re not going to challenge yourself?

Posture for combat is so vital.

I want to be financially secure by the time I have kids.

At 155, I will be the same animal, an even better animal.

People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality.

Ritual is another word for fear, manifested in a different way.

I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.

People think I’m a celebrity. I’m not a celebrity.

We come bulletproof in Ireland. We’re reared tough, and we fight.

I’ve learned new footwork patterns that are very unusual. I’ve learned how to find a lower centre of gravity, and I’ve found more angles to throw shots.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get paid loads of cash for beating the crap out of people. And I’m very good at it.

I never got into training to be an All-Ireland boxing champ or to win a belt. At the start, I just got into it to learn how to defend myself when I got into situations.

As Cole left school that day with Peter, they stopped beside the bulldog statue. “You two are wrecking our school!” shouted one of the jocks walking by. “

You can’t wreck something that’s already wrecked!” Peter shouted back angrily. “Hey, Peter, we’re Spirit Bears,” Cole reminded his friend. “Spirit Bears are strong, gentle, and kind.” Peter thought a moment. “You got mauled, so that proves they can get ticked off too.

Pride made the devil, and the devil made sin; So God made a cole-pit to put the devil in.

No more like together than is chalke to coles.
