“When you grow up hard, when you grow up surviving, unfortunately, it helps.”

“When guys say at the press conference, 'I'm not scared' - now, for a guy to tell me he's not scared of me means that you are scared.”

“I like to do things that are noncombat- or boxing-related. So I jump rope a lot, and then I run a lot.”

“I was up at 5 A. M. every day, going to the gym, meeting my trainer. He was horrible to me for an hour and a half every morning before the day started. I got my strength up just from surviving him.”

“I was the only one to work seven years with my uncle, who is quite a difficult guy. With him, it's not living, it's surviving. If he does 100 percent, you have to do 150 percent, to show you can do as well as he does.”

“I need both music and acting to even think about surviving life. I don't have a choice.”
