I can talk, I can express myself. But many times when people are talking just to talk, to say negative things, I don't like it because this is not a negative sport.

I was definitely done with 155, then when I heard they ended up banning IVs I was like, there's no way I can make 55.

I want to get paid for my services.

I thought eating Double Quarter Pounders with Big Mac sauce wasn't that bad, but I guess it was.

My dad was always a motivation, even when he wasn't there.

The main reason I'm in this sport is not to run mouths and make posts on Twitter and stuff. It's to compete.

If I can compete five, six times a year that would be perfect.

I can't stay stuck in the past.

I thought me hitting you and you not hitting me and me making you miss and even throwing more than you means that I won a fight.

I'm a real fighter.

I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.

I've had to prove myself beyond that street-fighter image with some people in the UFC. It has a stigma to it.

I want to give big kudos to USADA. Can it be better? Yeah.

You don't spit on people, especially people's corners.

It's taken me 26 professional fights to seek out nutritional help and I finally did and it's made a big change in my weight as far as weight cutting goes.

If they're not the toughest fights I can get, then give me a complete washup, someone that'll be an easy payday. But I'd rather have the toughest fights I can get so I can get to the title the fastest way possible.

I'm not going to get tired in a 12 round boxing event, especially if I have time to prepare for it.

I understand my role in this life, and my job is just to hurt people and get them out of there.

If you look through my career, I put an end to a lot of guys never been knocked down, never been stopped.

If it was... let's say they just banned 170, that it was either 55 or 85, I'd go to 185 before I'd go to 55.

I just want to go out and compete. Plus the main thing is, at 55 I need a good amount of time to prepare just to make the weight cut. At 70 I can just take fights as they come and just compete as much as I want.

I'm just not going around disrespecting people.

There's some people who violate that man-code of the gym.

I got taught respect because if not, somebody's gonna make you respect them.

I don't go around making conversation, I just kind of stick to myself.

I do a very strict diet.

I think the sport is growing and along with it weight classes have to be added.

I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.

I've known Woodley for nine-plus years, ten-plus years. We've worked out together plenty. He's one of the guys who used to slam me all around the place. I was at 155, he was at 170 pounds and he was just the wrestler that is a superpower. So that was one of the dudes that got my wrestling a little better from going with guys like that.

I get along just fine with Woodley. He's actually showed me a lot things in the past, and I've worked with him in the past training to help him get ready to fight. There's no hard feelings if me and hit had to scrap.

Chill? I can't chill. I find it so difficult to sit still.

I didn't look like Rihanna. I was a bit chubby. I had puppy fat. I had a moustache. I didn't want to have lips; I didn't want a bum. I grew out of it, but I feel like everyone went through that phase of wanting to be skinny.

Good music is timeless, and if you create with that honesty, it will last.

I was a bit late on Erykah Badu, but I don't think you can really be late on music. You discover it whenever; music is timeless.

It's very special that I can go through things - and write them down and record them - and so many people can relate. Not everybody can get out who they are and really feel better after they write.

I did classical singing at school. I did exams in that. I'd sing soprano, and we'd sing in German; we'd do Schubert for my pieces, in Latin, French... I really enjoyed that. I kind of miss it.

Michael Jackson was a Gemini. Kanye, Lauryn Hill, a lot of people that are amazing artists are Geminis.

I write all of my music.

I want to be worldwide, international, in everyone's ears, and everyone listening to what I'm saying, because I think I say some good stuff.

I met Sade! I performed 'Blue Lights' at one of Drake's shows in London, and I met her backstage. She told me her son is a big fan. That was a moment when I was like, 'Wow.'

I left Starbucks in 2015. When I was younger, I remember looking at Justin Bieber and wishing I had all these fans, but you know what? Everyone has their path, everyone's path is different, and this is where mine's going. I just didn't want to work at Starbucks. I wanted to be writing music all the time.

Because I'm on a tour bus, it's so hard to wash your face - we have to use, um, water bottles. But you know what? It's not about looking cute - it's about staying hydrated.

Drake brought me out at the O2 in London and Barclays Center, and I'm on 'More Life.'

My voice makes the genre because I sound like me on all my songs - I've made my own genre: Jorja Smith.

I just like wearing whatever makes me feel comfortable and confident. I wear what fits my mood.

I've got so many melodies in my head.

I'm not with a label, so I haven't ever felt pressure to be a certain way. I've got a cool team who just love music.

I was born in June, so I like summer, and my favourite part of a sunny day is when the sun sets.

I need to get a tiny bit more 'woke.'

Sometimes I observe stuff I haven't been through and write about it. I used to walk my dog with these 50-year-olds, and they'd tell me stories I could use.
