“When you're going to consider spending the rest of your life with someone, you need to have some pretty transparent conversations.”

“I remember when driving and traveling through Lapland, every road is surrounded by huge beautiful trees. Eight out of 10 times I would see a family of reindeer run beside the road or even through the highway holding up traffic. They're huge and unbelievable to see in person.”

“Well, I have a big personality, and I've been attracted to women with big personalities.”

“When you're on the road it can feel like your routine is a little off.”

“In this world it's important to remember where you came from.”

“You have to make your own decision, especially when it comes to your relationships.”

“There's a reason why people don't and shouldn't date multiple people outside the Bachelor world. It's messy and it's not always fun. While it can work, it's not ideal.”

“There's a lot of great things about being the Bachelor, but it is challenging to know that every decision you make is going to affect everyone.”

“I want to be with a woman who feels empowered.”

“In general, men are just kind of slow and dumb. We just figure things out later.”

“When you are the Bachelor, you have very limited resources and time to get to know these women, and I think you try to use everything at your disposal.”

“It is tragic to lose someone close, but having that reminder to take advantage of every opportunity that life gives you.”

“Sometimes no matter how strong your imagination is and how many days you spend picturing a life with a woman, she turns out to be so amazing that only being there with her in the moment, holding her in your arms, can you find the truth in your heart.”

“Women have as much right as men to do whatever they want behind closed doors.”

“I can strongly say with conviction that as far as being on a TV show that documents my love life of any kind, I'm done with.”

“I follow my heart and do what I think is best, regardless of the majority opinion.”

“It's important to remember that when someone says, 'It's not you, it's me,' that it is definitely you and they absolutely do not think it's them.”

“I'm a big Kings of Leon fan. And there's probably some Britney Spears and Justin Bieber in my playlist too - which I'm definitely not ashamed of.”

“Dancing hurts, like physically is painful, but being the Bachelor is an emotionally - it's a lot of emotional pain.”

“In past relationships, I learned so much about that person through the tough conversations and how we handled them together.”
