With Carlson Gracie, who saw something in me, I started learning and loved mixing together the martial arts.

I'm very proud to tell you guys I have been accepted into Stanford University, one of the main institutions of learning and research in the world.

I have been fighting and winning all the fights in my division. I think I deserve a title shot.

Sometimes you fall down, but you have to pick yourself back up.

Of course, I love football, but I'm not one of those die-hard fans that never miss a game or with rooms devoted to team colors. At the end of the day, it's just a game.

If you misuse the things you have been given, God has the ability to take your talent away. That's the way it is for me and that is why a lot of religious people are grateful to their God.

Having worked with some of the characters in football and having to be nice to them - and knowing your job depends on you having to be nice to them - just doesn't appeal to me.

The practice of being on a spiritual path isn't about being the best meditator or the kindest possible person or the most enlightened. The practice is about surrendering to love as often as possible.
