"I suppose it depends on the situation, for instance, whether or not I feel my life is threatened, or if I am in enough pain or pushed to certain limits. It depends on how much my opponents are running their mouths and pissing me off and whom they are insulting. Certain lines must be crossed, I must be pushed beyond my limits of patience or control to snap. But once I hit that mark I am blinded by my rage and lose myself."
