- I am chasing perfection.
- We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren't really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.
- I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.
