I've fought on 'The Ultimate Fighter' in front of 30-40 people, and I kinda like that. There's no distractions.
I never have free time, I don't know about you. You ever go to the cash machine, there's two people in line in front of you and you get kinda flustered, you're like "Forget it! I'm not standing here for 40 seconds. I got things to do, okay?"
How can [actors] learn their lines and be honest in front of 30 people and all the lights? It makes me cry sometimes. I can't understand how they can be joking with me 30 seconds before, and 40 seconds later they're giving me all this incredible feeling.
When I fought in The Ultimate Fighter Finale, I had microfracture surgery, and that's usually eight month's recovery turnaround. I had to fight three months after that, and I fought three months after that. And I had to train through that with that.
If you can't motivate yourself to get up and play in front of 30,000-40,000 people, then you're not in the right job.
It's hard to go out in front of people with an acoustic guitar and improvise for 30 or 40 minutes, but I had a compulsion to do it. I just had to in a way that I can't really explain.
I eat 30/40 grammes of carbohydrates, 30/40 grammes of proteins with every meal.
He's an old good fighter, he's an intelligent fighter but I wouldn't say he's the best I've ever fought.
Before The Ultimate Fighter, I was appearing before a couple of hundred people at most. Now, I'm on the card of a Las Vegas blockbuster... this is every Australian fighter's dream.
But we did see the process develop. I remember going to the Rocket Pictures base and they had something like 40 people there, drawing. They didn't know what the characters looked like yet and I remember on the walls seeing 30 or 40 different versions of Juliet. So, it was then that I realised that someone's got to come in and make some really executive decisions.
You don't compare a guy with 30 or 40 fights with a guy who had 200 fights and fought over 25 years.
Everybody thinks they know me. They think I'm an easy fighter, but when cage door closes, they feel my power. I'm a completely different fighter. They've never fought against someone like me but they have to feel it on their skin.
I know I'm a good fighter, probably a great fighter. I've fought the best in the world since I was a kid, and I've been fortunate to come out on top.
In most companies, the corporate mentality is if you're over 30, you're on the downhill side, and if you're over 40, you're brain dead. Or, if you're over 30 or 40 and you've been doing it for a while, you've got experience and you want to be paid for that experience.
I'm not like, 'I act.' I'm like, 'I'm kinda floating. I kinda did this movie; it was kinda like going to camp, and I don't really know what any of this means!'
I just continue to do my work with dedication. Really, it's my listeners who have given me 40 years of bhushana. However, my ultimate probably would be to sing in front of god. That will be something.
I feel lucky to be getting older. The fact that I made it to 30 and then 40 was big enough. So I can't get too down on getting older; otherwise, it kind of undoes everything I've fought for.
