Your feelings are your god.
I like looking good. But it's also about the feeling, right?
I pursue this dream and carry on. I don't dwell too much on the outside, I just focus on the inside.
Pain is part of the sport.
Fourteen weeks before the Mendes fight I tore 80 per cent of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament]. That is the main ligament for stability. Every day in that training camp when I was working my way back, I was saying "real champions fight through any adversity". That is why I am a real champion and he is not. Look at my eye [he had seven stitches put in an old wound after an injury in training the night before we met]. Fighters fight on. Aldo got scared, he went running and I worry he will run again.
I don't believe in talent. Talent doesn't exist.
Real champions fight through adversity.
It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise. We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness. Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages. Those who do regular spiritual practice do not need much sleep.
Is it [hunting] really a sport if you have all the equipment and your opponent doesn't know a game is going on?
I have a company that does design and animation, so obviously graffiti is definitely an intricate part of what we admire and respect in the art world.
It's tough for me to get rid of clothes. I grew up in a household with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!'; even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away.
