I Kind Of Like To Think Of

The Way That I Like To Fight Is I Like To Paint Myself Into A Corner And So The Only Way Is For Me To Win.

People Say To Me All The Time, 'you Have No Fear.' I Tell Them, 'no, That's Not True. I'm Scared All The Time. You Have To Have Fear In Order To Have Courage. I'm A Courageous Person Because I'm A Scared Person.'

I Thought That I Was Mutant Somehow. I Eventually Realized That I Have A Very Natural Look, And That's What God Gave Me, And I'm Proud Of It. It Was Kind Of A Way For Me To Get Past That As Well.

The Olympics Is A Once-in-a-lifetime Thing. I Was Lucky Enough To Go Twice, But Most People Only Get One Chance. And In Judo You Can Train Your Whole Life And It’ll Come Down To A Split Second: You Can Lose Everything Or Win Anything.

My First Injury Ever Was A Broken Toe, And My Mother Made Me Run Laps Around The Mat For The Rest Of The Night. She Said She Wanted Me To Know That Even If I Was Hurt, I Was Still Fine.
