“I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‘What a waste of energy.’”

When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

What someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.

I don’t feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.

I’m interested in movement, and I’m interested in money, and I’m interested in the movement of money.

People say that I’m a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.

I feel you’re in charge of your own situation.

People are so caught in a routine, doing the same things over and over.

I’m already the face of the UFC, plus the face of boxing, WWE, and Hollywood.

I’m just trying to be myself. I’m not trying to be anyone else.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.

My unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

There is definitely an addiction to money that I have.

We’ve reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended. We’ve got to get over this sensitivity and it keeps people from saying what they really believe.

A fellow is more afraid of the trouble he might have than he ever is of the trouble he’s already got. He’ll cling to trouble he’s used to before he’ll risk a change.

And therewithal, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people might be informed thereof.

Am I going to get my warts removed? I might do, but I’m certainly not going to auction them on the Internet.

Kill off all my demons and my angels might die too.

Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.

Pop artists work really hard, and they might not work for the same things that indie artists do, but they’re still musicians, and they’re still making art.

Pentecost came with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, a violent blast from heaven! Heaven has not exhausted its blasts, but our danger is we are getting frightened of them.
