I did aikido when I was four years old.

I don't care about the Strikeforce belt.

You see me. What you see is what you get. You get real martial arts, you get real fighting, you get a real warrior mentality. Some people aren't mature enough to handle it.

I'm not no chump.

What I do is, I fight.

I'm ready to fight anybody.

I'll fight anywhere.

I was never, like, picking on people or anything like that. I was more the other way around. I was a little insecure, I was broke.

I'm not in love with fighting. I never was.

I was always throwing a fit about it, like somebody I was fighting had their hair painted and I would be like, it's not enough that this guy has to win a fight against me, but he's gotta do it with his hair being on blast, like big mohawk. Just a wild man.

Sometimes I'm like, man, I wish I'd just fall off, so people stop talking about me.

I like the idea of being able to fight my way out of something.

I don't want to say I was a big Shinya Aoki fan, but it's just that I felt like he got out and was able to do a lot of the tricks that I like to do before I was able to do them. I guess you can say, a little bit jealous in a way that he was making that sort of show before I was.

As far as MMA, I want to say there's maybe five guys that do jiu-jitsu that have an actual level of understanding when it comes to boxing.

I enjoy fighting here in Japan under the regular Dream/Pride rules with the ring and the whole rules criteria.

I have a cage at home, I have a cage at all the gyms I train.

I think for hundreds of years or for a much longer time, people have been fighting, professional athletes have been fighting in a ring. So it's just the way it should be. There's no sense in making it a cage.

I'm scared of any fighter I've ever fought because they are some dangerous people to be dealing with.

I have Georges St-Pierre out here telling me 'you really think I'm afraid of you, man?' and I'm like you should be, bro. You should be scared out of your mind. I'll tell you what, I'm scared of him.

I've lost fights before where I'm landing more punches and I'm moving away from the guy. So, the way that they score things at the end doesn't seem very consistent to me.

I do get paid well as an MMA fighter, but this isn't boxing and I feel like we should get paid like this is boxing.

I will tell you right now, I want to fight the No. 1 fighter in the world. I always said that I want to fight the No. 1 fighter.

I want to go against the best fighters. That's why I'm always calling out Georges St-Pierre.

I love jiu-jitsu, and I love my team.

I just want to display my skills to the world because I can do it all.

I've been watching Frank Shamrock fight since the beginning.

I'm gonna talk my talk, I'm gonna walk my walk.

I don't know how they judge fights sometimes.

Every other fighter has a life on the side. I've never had another job.

If anybody wants to fight me they know where to find me. I'm not a hard guy to find. Come get some.

Fighting is not something that I enjoy doing. It's something that I do that I feel that I have to do.

I don't recommend anybody becoming a fighter.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who's in tune with what's really going on.

There's no reason for me to come and fight for fun. I don't do that. That's not what I do.

I'm not out here trying putting on an act like I'm crazy. In my opinion, everyone else is crazy. They're the ones who put on an act for you, doing what they're told in front of the camera.

Once I turned pro, I was like okay, this is not fun and games now.

Everybody wants to do a fight with me, champions at 170, champions at 185.

I will always tell the truth.

For me, I already fought some of the best people there are. I already did, you know, what I need to do for me.

I'm not fanatical or in love with being an MMA fighter.

I just try to be as healthy as I can, pretty much.

Sometimes, the hardest things are just the simple things. Basically, get out of your own head and just go play the game you know how to play.

It doesn't matter if it's first-, second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-string snaps - any time you get a snap and get to go out there and practice, you build a database of information.

I think the big thing is don't be afraid to fail.

Nobody aspires to be a backup. And although I take great pride in the supporting roles I've played in both Philadelphia and Kansas City, part of me still cringes every time I hear myself described that way. Not only is it limiting and one-dimensional, it doesn't come close to describing who I really am.

It took me years to separate Nick Foles the person from Nick Foles the football player.

I can't do something unless my heart is in it.

I don't play for myself. I play for my teammates and play for the people that helped me get to where I am. I know they're watching me every week, and I want to play for them. It's just in my heart, and that's who I am.

When you are having a rough day... you think you are failing. But failure is a part of life. It's about building character and growing.

Since that moment in Houston where I fractured my collarbone, I've experienced a lot more experiences in the NFL than I had up to that point. A lot of them great, some of them not so great.
