Quote by Kai Greene

“If you accuse me of being on drugs because I'm very focused on what I do, because I'm very serious, because I'm very hungry, because I can squat 800 lbs, because I can bench 500 lbs, because I can press 315 behind my neck, and if these things don't fit under what you consider to be natural, then I don't want to be a natural. I don't want to be what you depict as a natural. I want to define myself for me.”

I'm still evolving; everybody is or at least should be in bodybuilding.”

“I spend so much money on food, just getting the food for me is a tremendous expense, so there's no way I could even think about paying for supplements.
