“We’re the only animal that wakes up and doesn’t stretch.”

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.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

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.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

There are mysteries which men can only guess at, which age by age they may solve only in part.

Calling Michelle ‘Obama Barack’s baby mama?’ Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren’t the only targets. Fox’s pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.

Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay.

It’s a different story because guess what, the kid is only 28 years old, 28. He’s not his dad, not his grandpa. He’s 28 years old.

I only go to places if I have a professional reason. I’m not a tourist.
