On my block, I had all these guys coming in and out of jail. When I was 13, I was playing outside my house, and one of those guys came across the street and started cussing me out, wanting to fight me. People knew I trained kickboxing and would put the gloves on with my friends, so that made me a target.

I'm the kind of guy who, if you tell me you can't do something, like, 'Brian, you can't do a backflip off that two-floor building,' and I'm going to give it a shot.

I'm not picky; I'll get it how I can take it. Submission, KO - whatever it is, if it has me winning, I'll take it.

Cub Swanson's a guy you either get through or you don't, and I fought him when he was on a nice winning streak.

If you are a great guy off screen but you are a bad actor and are dishonest to your work, then I would not spend my money on you.

Long Kiss Goodnight has a huge cult following. They could make another version of that movie right now and make a lot of money.

With respect to the first of these obstacles, it has often been made a matter of grave complaint against Political Economists, that they confine their attention to Wealth, and disregard all consideration of Happiness or Virtue.

The biggest ambition in my career is still to win the European Cup. I want to have a picture of that to look at later; I want to have that medal. You can have a contract that is better than your friends, but no player looks back and says: 'I won more money.'
