“I think, in a way, I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed, but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around.”
“I just want to do what has to be done so much. I'll never understand why everyone else doesn't feel this way.”
