The triumph can't be had without the struggle.

Believe me, the reward is not so great without the struggle.

No matter what great things you accomplish, somebody helps you.

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.

My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.

I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.

I'm a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.

I try my best to learn from other people's mistakes. I have a lot of respect for people who can change.

You need to learn independence. You have to be independent - it builds character.

There's nothing like being young, and happy, and fighting.
