The artist is a person who is expert in the training of perception.
My training was based on concentration, and it's impossible to cheat when you are concentrated
Until the moment I came out as a gay, I have kept my personal life and my career strictly separate from each other. No one was supposed to know that I'm gay.

Being a champion and staying that way is the most difficult thing to deal with. Everyone sees you as a target. They want to bring you down. I should always train in order to be at a higher level. Other fighters are training hard as well. I have to be a step or more ahead.
Training and managing your own mind is the most important skill you could ever own, in terms of both happiness and success.
