“Every day of my life, I’m trying to find a different way to get better.”

One of the things I’ve always said is that if you’re given the ability to coach kids, then you’re really given the ability to be a father or parent of some sort.

I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.

I have so much respect for people that are my elders. You aren’t going to hear me cursing around people that are 60 and 70 years old.

The only thing that follows work is results.

I fight for the man next to me. It don’t matter about me, what matters about me is sacrificing for you; for the ultimate goal which is us.

I don’t care where we’re going; I’m gonna wear a suit all day, every day.

Bottom line, your body is a temple, and you have to treat it that way. That’s how God designed it.

With all the things I’ve been through, the No. 1 thing that I’ve learned is that we’re supposed to help people through this world.

A leader puts himself last then he sticks out.

All the cops are just workers for the one percent, and they don’t even realize they’re being exploited.

Effort is between you and you.

There’s one secret to hitting hard, and that is to completely dedicate your body. That’s the difference between a man going forward and a man going backward, no matter how big he is.

I just came out of the gym from three hours this morning. I got five hours of sleep. That’s it. Every day of my life, I’m trying to find a different way to get better.

The more you know about your opponents, the more you learn how to beat them. Where the holes open to run through, blocking schemes, even down to player tendencies and what hand they like to carry the ball with.

I’ve always said to the refs to not be the ones to decide the game. Let the players dictate the outcome.

My thing about camp is to come in and be who I am, which is the most dominant player in the game, That’s who I am, and that’s what I’m here for.

People don’t make albums any more. It’s always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

Stylistically, things are becoming cooler. People are trying different things and combining genres.

In 2009, I didn’t like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

I won’t sing to you like Chris and Ne-Yo, but I’m fresher than a stick of deo.

Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me. Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.
