“My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don’t fight it.”

I’m just fiercely protective. It’s like, that’s my lair and nobody messes with my lair.

I’m good where I am at this moment.

When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I’d be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

I believe that children are our future

When you’re feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.

Judge not for your flaws, but for your Triumphs!

You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness; it makes it worthwhile.

I’ve always been a thin girl. I’m not going to be fat, ever. Let’s get that straight. Whitney is not going to be fat, ever. Okay?

I’m the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something’s going down, I won’t eat. Some people eat, I don’t eat. And it shows in my physical frame.

No, I’m not a drug addict, and neither is my husband. If that were so, you’d get a lot less work out of me. It would show in the performances and in the work.

I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.

I’ve never felt like this in any other country. I feel at home, I feel wonderful.

I’ve got some good saints out there – that’s right – that pray for me constantly. You’ve gotta have that! You do.

Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight. OK? We don’t do crack. We don’t do that. Crack is whack.

Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love all.

I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.

Although there’s been a fighter before me called Mike Tyson, I’m my own Tyson. I’m Tyson Fury. I ain’t trying to be anybody else.

This is boxing, not tennis. Everyone likes a bit of rivalry, it makes for a good fight.

Men have always been obliged to fight to preserve liberty. Constitutions and laws do not safeguard liberty. It can be preserved only by a tolerant people, and this means eternal conflict.

You’re confident, you’re going to the ring to fight, but there’s always that little thing where you’re thinking, ‘God.’ You’re nervous. But you have to embrace it and enjoy it.

Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.

I’m looking forward to fighting Chisora, getting him out of the way, and then fighting Klitschko for all the belts, but I don’t think Wladimir is going to take the fight.

A fighter has to know fear.

I’ve been fighting my whole career to show a different side and prove naysayers – not prove them wrong, because I don’t think you should get your energy from negative people.
