People are so caught in a routine, doing the same things over and over.

I'm definitely on the pursuit of perfection...I will always be learning.

Wherever it goes is my best position. Wherever it goes I am comfortable.

An injury is not just a process of recovery it's a process of discovery.

I carry the flag of Ireland all the time. I want to represent my country.

The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.

One thing I believe that's a key to success is celebrate your surroundings.

I guess I have a little bit of an ego. I'm confidently cocky, you might say.

I'm already the face of the UFC, plus the face of boxing, WWE, and Hollywood.

I don't feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.

Be spontaneous, be creative, go out and have fun, let things happen naturally.

There's only one thing that's impossible to beat... a man that doesn't give up.

I hold no emotions while I am in there... in there it is just calm and creative.

A lot of people cry and complain and put their hand out and beg. It never goes well.

If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away.

In general, I like the healthy stuff and don't really have a problem with any of it.

Every little detail to every little movement must be perfect. Perfection in movement.

I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports.

Face adversity head on in your training and you will conquer it smoothly in your fight.

Appreciate your surroundings and be grateful for it and that's when good things happen.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

The left paw has done me well over the years. I'm not a scientist, I'm a martial artist.

Doubt is only removed by action. If you're not working then that's where doubt comes in.

Sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts because they have a weakness - and I exploit weakness.

A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that.

Training to me isn't about a set time at the gym - I move at all times of the day and night.

You can't fear success and I think a lot of people do... I'm not like that. I'm going for it.

It's important to stay hydrated - first thing I do in the morning is stretch and drink water.

I think I am the greatest fighter in any class. I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts.

I don't feel bitterness, I don't feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

You can't enter a contest emotionally charged. It clouds your judgment, it clouds your reaction.

I want to be an expert in different fighting styles, new training methods, new ways of thinking.

I try to eat healthy all the time. I don't eat takeaways. I drink mostly water or coconut water.

I'm just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Keep proving people wrong and proving myself right.

Boxing is limited fighting with a specific rule set. Fighting is true, where you can do anything.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It's still the same emotions.

I pursue this dream and carry on. I don't dwell too much on the outside, I just focus on the inside.

If they let people go fight jiu-jitsu tournaments, they can't stop me going to fight a boxing fight.

At the end of the day you gotta feel some way. So why not feel unbeatable? Why not feel untouchable.

I am cocky in prediction, I am confident in preparation but I am always humble in victory or defeat.

I'm interested in movement, and I'm interested in money, and I'm interested in the movement of money.

Boxing is going to have to catch up with the kind of things UFC is doing. They're getting left behind.

Seems like people get obsessed about times and numbers and weights and that - I'm obsessed with winning.

If you have a clear picture in your head of something that's going to happen... then nothing can stop it.

I train and I go home, and when I'm home, I think about training. That's my life every day, and that's it.

Life's a rollercoaster. You're up one minute; you're down one minute. But who doesn't like rollercoasters?

I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip.

When you're faced with an opponent, the media asks the questions, and I answer truthfully. I don't hold back.

I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.
