When I'd get up in the morning, he'd make me breakfast. Now he's not around anymore. God. I'm doing to do well, but when I come down to it, who really cares? I like doing my job, but I'm not happy being victorious. I fight my heart out and give it my best, but when it's over, there's no Cus to tell me how I did, no mother to show my clippings to.
If you're not humble, life will visit humbleness upon you.
You have to have a bunch of dimensions [of yourself]. You have to be able to adapt in this world. You can't be a nice guy living in a world of savages.
I know at times I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot, but I like that person.
Most fighters are the most humble people in the world because they've gotten their ass kicked before.
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.
I like doing other things. I like getting high, hanging out with my kids. I like drinking. I have so many demons.

I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.
At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see.
Man is not meant to be humble, he’s meant to be humbled.
