Quote

Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.

My life is not to be somebody else's impact - you know what I mean?

I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.

So I observe life a little bit, rather than participating in it.

Generally, all my life, I have had strong friction with life - I was a problematic soldier, I was kicked out of the army, I was in fights. There was something about writing that was a way of experimenting with this emotion.

I feel that I fell somewhat under that category where I was using fighting to kind of run from my own self to an extent, to kind of numb the things that I thought about myself. When I had fighting taken away, I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and say, 'What are you without fighting?'

I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.

If you love your life, you have to fight. If you believe in life and progress and possibilities, you have no choice.

Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.
