I get scared of fighting, because the worst that could happen is that I could die or get permanently maimed or become a quadriplegic for the rest of my life. Man, it’s serious. And the worst thing that could happen here is what? Someone could say I look bad in a bikini? Ugh, oh no. Fighting puts everything into perspective.”
