“When I'm in south Florida I'm training, resting, training. I'm working...” — Dustin Poirier Quote

When I'm in south Florida I'm training, resting, training. I'm working on my craft out here, very tediously. That's what I come out here for.

My goal and path is always to get to the mountaintop and be a world champion, and leave a fighting legacy.

Every fight, every camp I learn about myself and I get better. But every fight I get better.

If a champ has to take a long layoff then I think that's the only time interim titles should be introduced to the division.

I'm not really chasing rematches.

The key to my perseverance was absolutely loving the craft of acting. I just figured that if I kept doing it, at the very least I would get better at acting. Even if I didn't become a tremendous success, as long as I knew I was improving and getting better, to me, that was success.

I've never been able to sit down with a pen and paper and kind of craft out a song, or really force anything out. It always has to come almost subconsciously.

I like people who are masters of their craft.

I was really learning my craft as a jazz singer and working with some great players and all, really growing and feeling my wings.
