“In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. If you can’t do both of them, you’ve got a problem.”

There’s nothing like being young, and happy, and fighting.

I’m a historian, and that freaks me out.

If you’re not humble, life will visit humbleness upon you.

Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.

I don’t react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don’t care about anything. It’s just too hard for me to get emotional. I can’t cry no more.

In order for me to achieve… I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

You stand your ground and you perform your art. That’s what the artist does. The artist is about perfection.

You can’t be disturbed by anything. There’s no emotion involved. You can’t feel sorrow, you can’t feel pity, there’s nothing you feel. The job has to be done.

The tempt for greatness is the biggest drug in the world.

Fighters are never who they appear to be.

My power is discombobulatingly devastating. It’s ludricrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.

The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone’s not true with themselves.

Money is my God. If you think God will help you then quit your job and see how much he cares.

Napoleon was indeed the man sent by God to help the youth of France! Who is to take his place?

Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I’m interested in practical strength that’s going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.

While I was sleeping, I had a beautiful dream that all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength and began helping each other.

Every day, I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who help me do this.

I’ve learned, That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

That’s what art is for me. It helps you maintain hope by giving you the ability to either create outside your reality, or to describe your reality.

I’m not against gay people, I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical off are actions that violate the word of God.
