My relationship with my dad was a little rocky, sure. The time that I spent with him was basically two hours of Little League practice, six or seven days a week, from the age of five until whenever. If we lost, there was no talking the whole way home. But that seemed normal to me.Collection: Dad
I've always stood for one thing, and that is having freedom, and part of that is the freedom to unapologetically be yourself.Collection: Freedom
Anything that we can do to help men be more confident, I think that's going to be a net positive.Collection: Positive
I'm just living my life the way I want to. I have the freedom to do that.Collection: Freedom
Everyone has a right to their own opinion about me, and that's fine. I'm just going to keep being myself and living my life. That's all I can do.
Be yourself, be an individual - people are scared to be themselves.
That's the beauty of being above board - you can brag about your winnings.
I will tell you that I'm not religious.
My passion is creating lucrative opportunities around the world and online.
I already do some charity, but I don't necessarily talk about it. That doesn't mean I don't do it.
Guys are attracted based on looks 95% of the time. Girls are almost the opposite. Looks are a smaller factor. They're more attracted to a confident guy, or a successful guy, or someone who makes them laugh, or makes them feel comfortable.
It's not smart to get caught without a gun.
Life is all in the setup. A lot of people think I got the world handed to me, and I let them think exactly that whilst they handed me the world.
Having attractive women is very appealing to most men.
There was a period where I was wearing MMA shorts a lot 'cause I was doing two-a-day sessions.
I never wanted something from somebody without being able to kind of reciprocate, I guess.
I've won over 50 million dollars playing poker.
My dad's not the most normal thinking person. It's not normal to need to make millions or billions of dollars.
Climbing the mountain is always more fun than sitting at the top. It's just you have to find different mountains to climb.
I actually bought a laser hair removal machine so I can do it in my house.
I normally don't wake up until 1 P.M. and I'm not about to screw with my biorhythm.
I personally prefer girls from the Midwest. They're more appreciative. They haven't been on 50 private jets and been to Dubai 'every three weeks.
I don't believe in violence against women.
Basically I didn't get a ton of attention as a kid. I guess that's why I'm such a flashy lunatic.
People are going to believe what they want to believe.
I've got a... target on my back the size of the state of California.
I would like to think I am a little bit of a man's man and a ladies' man. I suppose, I'm a guy's guy because I like to do a lot of, you know, the man stuff: Working out, off-roading, getting on the dirt bike and what not. I am a ladies' man because I spend more time with girls than I do with guys.
Luxury has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me. I would define it as something that isn't needed but improves your life.
I grew up, initially, poor and then rich and then back to poor when I was in the military and college. And then eventually made some money playing poker.
When you are single and have no dependents, you should be able to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't adversely effect other people.
I'm all about living however you want, but if you make the decision to get married and have children, then you have an obligation to raise them in an environment that isn't going to ruin them, warp their perception of the world, or close doors for them.
If any girl gets a message from someone claiming to be me, it's fake.
When shooting exploding rifle targets, check with local and state laws.
Let's be honest, I'm not a guy who is going to grind out $10 entry fantasy matches. If I'm going to compete, I want to play at the highest stakes.
I just try to be authentic.
I mean, my dad is half-Armenian, his father is 100%, and I actually think he has Armenian citizenship. Apparently, the Kardashians and me are the big celebrities over in Armenia.
That's probably why I've become popular, because everyone's view of me is extremely polarized.
I mean look, everyone wants to do the story on the rising star, and when the star is up, they all want to be the one to bring it down because that's what people care about, right? They only care about the rise and the fall, so it's extreme positivity and extreme negativity.
Conscious luxury is the wave of the future because everyone should be aware of what they put on their bodies just like they are aware of what they consume.
It is important to be transparent about ingredients and use products with clean ingredients.
As an avid shooter remember to shoot responsibly and follow the rules.
Public lands are for everyone's use. Be responsible when shooting and clean up the area you were shooting in so others can enjoy the land.
Just because you can buy an exploding target, does not mean that it is legal to mix and explode.
If shooting exploding targets use only in intended use containers.
It's pretty obvious I love animals.
I gave up hunting a long time ago.
I appreciate people trying to stand up for animals.
I am more of a constitutionalist libertarian.
I believe in the Constitution.
I'm not super-political.
