“I was born and raised in a family with a very unique culture and lifestyle - being exposed to being a Gracie as a martial artist. I learned how to eat differently, to have different conditioning, how to respond to challenges in life.”

“I think martial arts, when it's practiced with a complete idea, is a metaphor for life.”

“All martial arts are different. They all got deluded by the sporting aspect.”

“I had to cut weight a few years ago, and I felt like I'll be better if I was lighter. I felt like my conditioning would be better if I eat better.”

“As you get older, the summer is less of a vacation and more of a training period by yourself away from the team. It's exciting for me. I felt like I've been really getting better as far as my conditioning every single season as I get older.”

“I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it.”
