I've suffered rib injuries, but I've never had a broken one. I've dislocated it and popped it, and even that, a big step down from broken, it hurts so bad. But you can't really move. You can't even fully breathe and take a deep breath of air.

I was never a bully; I would take on everybody at any time. Whether that was the No. 1 guy in the world or whether that was the No. 100 guy in the world, it didn't make any bit of difference. If somebody wanted to fight, I would show up and fight.

I will never hope to walk into a room and be cheered.

I'm OK with being booed.

I will not pretend to be something that I'm not. I certainly won't do it to win the audience over.

Every time you have a huge fight in wrestling, in boxing, in MMA, both guys are sure they're going to win. They really believe it.

Jose Aldo, this guy's a chicken. I can't even tell you how good Jose Aldo is, but he doesn't think it.

When Georges St-Pierre retired and Jon Jones was absent, I had Jose Aldo, the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's how highly I think of him.

I wouldn't poke fun at someone if they were weak. I wouldn't bully somebody.

I'm not going to sidestep anybody, I'm not going to back down from anybody at any weight, and most importantly, I'm not going to pick on a guy who is weaker.

I think I can beat any man.

Nobody wants to fight Brian Stann. I'm not the only guy, and that's not a big secret.

I've got two 10-8 rounds against Anderson Silva. That's just the truth. I have no equal at middleweight.

I never receive backlash for my comments. I receive praise.

Jon Jones' skill set is unique. Jon Jones goes out there and does video game moves that the announcers can't even call because they've never seen them before.

Ronda's a very basic and straightforward fighter. However, she's a masterful competitor.

It doesn't matter if I'm a rival of Anderson Silva's or not; I'm also very objective. And I'm not going to take something from a guy that he earned. Anderson Silva earned the right to be called the greatest of all time. And those are just the facts.

Nobody breaks in a fight and comes back in the same fight. Once you break, you're done for the night. You've gotta go back. You've gotta shower up. You've gotta fly home. You've got to reassess, take three or four months, and try it again. But that Anderson Silva breaks in that fight, and still finds a way to win, is remarkable.

I didn't get to go to school functions growing up. I didn't get to go to dances. I was never invited to a party ever. Until I got to college and threw a party, I had never even been to one.

All sin and all crime comes from the same thing: 'I decided. I decided this was okay.'

We start to decline as humans and, particularly, as athletes right around 25 years old. If you're real lucky, you might push that to 27 or 28.

Guys always get jealous or envious of an opportunity, but they never wanna walk out to the mound and point to the crowd and tell them where they're going to hit the ball. I will. I'll call my shots.

I'm a huge supporter of Trump.

Sports are something that, for the most part, are for kids, and if you're able to extend your career, you're very lucky.

Because of both hipster culture and Facebook culture, the human race is starting to resemble a school of hairy piranhas.

I love the U.S.A.

I can't gain anything off of anyone else not succeeding.

Colorism and racism don't stop when you're a musician or when you have wealth or when you're in any given position.

I hate eating vegetables. The only vegetables I eat are lettuce on a burger.

I'm a good man, and I'm gonna become a better man.

There's a hunger in me that always wants to be creating and orating, telling people something and giving them information and getting feedback. There are so many questions that I'm trying to ask, and I'm still so far from being done saying what I gotta say.

I've come to understand that art is awesome and beautiful because it's a reflection of life - but it's just a reflection, and the real thing is my daughter.

My favorite artist in the world is Michael Jackson, and he revolutionized the music video aspect of music.

The problem is that my generation was pacified into believing that racism existed only in our history books.

When I found Freestyle Fellowship, I started getting into the construction of rap. You get better at it the more you do it; you figure out the science and the math behind it.

I am scared of death.

I feel like, at a certain point in life, I'd like to be the type of man that gets married and has more serious relationships.

Something I try to instill in others is to just be a good person. It's a decision you make a million times a day. But if you just keep trying, good stuff comes to you in an ordained way.

I feel like LeBron James is an amazing basketball player, but he's also a community person.

Everything you write as an artist is about your legacy and your catalog and how you would look in a museum.

There's so much positivity in the world and your day-to-day life that to go as far as to say that you hate something or you wish it didn't exist and all the bad things in the world happen to you and only you, it's a joke. It's not real to have that much hate in your heart.

I remember sitting on the back of the bus on the first day of the Social Experiment tour with my face in my hands. I emptied out my bank account, and before I did that tour, that was the number one thing I said I'd never do. I'll never empty out my savings.

When you're a Chicago artist, to play Lollapalooza, that's not a normal thing. It's artists on a path to a certain place that do that. Chief Keef did it; Kids These Days did it; Cool Kids did it. And I'm the next Cool-Kids-Chief, if you will.

When you become a parent, you start loving diapers.

I make my money off of touring and merchandise. And I'm lucky I have really loyal fans that understand how it works and support.

Anything is respectable in its own realm.

When you make stuff from the 'you' point of view, you really can't go wrong.

I'm light skinned, and I used to lean on that because that's something a lot of black people pride themselves on, and it's weird.

Music can kind of make you one-dimensional. People see what's on the surface and what you rap about, and they make their decision on who you are from there.

It wasn't until I left that I realised it's not weird to grow up in certain cities and, by the age of 27 or 28, for all of your friends to still be alive. I can think of a lot of kids that I knew in Chicago who were supposed to grow up but didn't.
