“Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.”

“We thought the hard part was over—but we were wrong. Living is the hardest part. Figuring out how to live your life when you’re all busted up inside and out—there is nothing harder.”

“Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes.”

“You can go a surprisingly long time without figuring out the kind of person you are and in what direction your life is taking you.”
