Anderson Silva

Basically, sometimes a reporter will ask a question, and I feel the answers only matter when the questions are relevant.

I don't have a problem putting on or cutting weight. I would adapt my training if I'm training for a Light Heavyweight fight by using different techniques and by wearing a weight vest to get used to the extra fighting weight.

I'm always training to fight the best fighters in the world, and if the UFC wants me to fight Georges St-Pierre, then I will fight him.

Georges St-Pierre is a good fighter who is proving his place in MMA with every fight.

I respect my fans.

I love the sport. I love fighting. Fighting is my life.

I win for long time. I'm champion for long time - for years.

People that want to talk can talk. Even a parrot talks. People are always going to have their thoughts on what they're going to say.

From the moment that a fight ends, that fight is in the past, win or lose.

Not only in the Octagon, but also in life, sometimes I have to take two steps back to take one step forward.

I respect all the fighters. I respect Georges St-Pierre because Georges has a great story in the UFC. I respect all the fighters in here because this is the biggest sport in the world.

The only problem with Pride was guys would try to slip through the ropes to escape. But other than that, I love Pride rules.

You can't give up on your dreams.

Unfortunately, the reporters ask the same questions over and over again. When reporters keep asking the same questions, they've got to recognize I may hear these questions 20 to 30 times in a matter of days. It gets to the point where I think, 'Read the other interviews!'

The thing I always demand is respect. I respect everybody and have a history in the sport, and I believe people need to respect me.

Definitely I feel my kids played a big role in why I was so successful in fighting.

Having kids and a relationship at such an early age definitely built up my hunger and perseverance to succeed.

I don't feel that I have to prove anything to anyone as far as what I've done in fighting.

God bless Neymar because this boy has changed the lives of kids in Brazil. A lot of children watch him, believe they can be the next Neymar. Sometimes, you have a great opportunity to change and impact the lives of kids.

I like to play soccer and paintball. I love paintball.

I'm a big fan, and I like the idea of fighting Roy Jones Jr.

For a long time, I have waited for the opportunity to fight Mr. Roy Jones. This is my personal goal and dream.

I think I've been through all the phases of the sport. I won, I lost, I got injured. Now I get to do what I love, with my truth, without worrying about what people will say or things like that.

A lot of people thought I was gay.

I trained together with Jacare for a long time.

The moment when I broke my leg, when I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over.

This is the UFC. UFC has the best fighters in the world. That's it.

I'm not scared of Jon Jones or Chris Weidman or whoever. I'm here to fight. That's it. It's simple.

Life is about how much you can take and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward.

Sometimes people think I'm gay. A lot of people have asked me if I'm gay. I answer, 'Look, not to my knowledge. But I'm still young, it could be that in the future, I'll find out that I'm gay.'
