Any fool can be fussy and rid himself of energy all over the place, but a man has to have something in him before he can settle down to do nothing.

I want to go where the guns are!

I rejoice to live in such a splendidly disturbing time!

A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.

I don’t know if I’m ever getting married. I’m probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people took a chance and they did it. We don’t have the guts that Romeo did.

There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That’s okay. Just spell my name right.

I have no fear of death, so I don’t think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I’m very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It’s not driving – it’s everything – it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can.
