“I’m committed to the fight game.”

When I do something, I do it full steam ahead.

From the moment I open my eyes, I’m trying to free my body. I’m trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.

I’ve always felt like there was a lot of hype around me even when there wasn’t. I felt like everyone was talking about me even when no one was talking about me.

I will fight in many weight divisions.

I carry the flag of Ireland all the time. I want to represent my country.

I think it’s an Irish thing. We don’t really care. We say it as we mean it, and you have to deal with it. The truth is the truth.

I’ll die a crazy old man!

I don’t look at a man who’s expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.

I knew I’d be in the UFC since I started my career.

I don’t feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.

The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.

Life’s a rollercoaster. You’re up one minute; you’re down one minute. But who doesn’t like rollercoasters?

The left paw has done me well over the years. I’m not a scientist, I’m a martial artist.

A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.

You’ve got to put in the work. You’ve got to grind. You’ve got go through the struggle, and you’ve got to get it.

If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

I was influenced by the Beats because I actually just began to commit adolescence around 1955, when “Howl” and Rebel Without a Cause and a lot of other new things were popping up.

Men commit murder and all sorts of mayhem, in a few years they’re back on the streets.

When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.

You dont fall into love. You commit to it. Love is saying I will be there no matter what.

Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn’t exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn’t wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception.

A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.

When we tune in to an especially human way of viewing the landscape powerfully, it resonates with an audience

Rich people are committed to enough to do whatever it takes. Period.
