“As a fighter my goal is not to get hit and frustrate my opponent. Once...” — Stephen Thompson Quote

“As a fighter my goal is not to get hit and frustrate my opponent. Once I get you frustrated then I got you.”

“The average MMA guys have a boxer's stance which makes it easier for a wrestler when they try and take you down. I tend to stand sideways and that gives them only one leg to shoot for, it tends to make it more difficult to try and take me down.”

“Sometimes people say, 'You've got to go out there and grit your teeth and just throw.' That's never been my style, but I think I need to be a little bit more aggressive instead of counterpunching.”

“The issue of work/life balance is a real one, and yet I still find myself frustrated if I feel like I'm giving some aspect of my life short shrift.”

“I started writing because I got so frustrated that there weren't enough plays that had roles for young black women in them.”

“I was frustrated I couldn't remember stuff, and I got real upset. It was driving me nuts.”
