Even though I had been boxing, I had no idea I could beat somebody in the ring. And I had no idea I could really take a punch. When I realized that, I really started taking off.

It's not just the physical aspect of boxing, it's the whole fighter mentality that has been ingrained in me through the years as a competitive athlete. One of the hardest things you'll ever do is to box - to get into the ring and to face off with somebody whose whole goal is to knock you out, to hurt you, and to be able to fight back.

It's funny - if you impersonate somebody, they have no idea it's them.

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

It was really weird dealing with the media. I had no idea how to handle it.

When I wrote 'Lord of the Flies' - I had no idea it would even get published.
