“Every home that I have is paid for, every car that I have is paid for, and I am a hundred-million-dollar man. I mean, this is the truth; it’s not a lie.”

If I’m scared and I’m a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

I ain’t never nervous. Never nervous.

God only made one thing in this world that’s perfect – and that’s my boxing record.

I would lie in bed, and I was nine years old, and say to myself: ‘I want to be the richest man in the world.’ I’ve come a long way from there.

I’ve never had a job. I’ve never needed to.

Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder.

I just want to be the best. I haven’t been in an all-out war. That doesn’t mean I’m not the best.

Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.

I come from a very rough background, and I’m saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to.

You can never overlook a guy.

Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.

I’m not here to judge Mike Tyson. I’m not here to judge nobody. I’m not here to monitor no other fighters. I respect him for what he did in the sport of boxing. He was an entertainer.

I was able to retire from the sport with all my faculties and not let the sport retire me.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.

I’m a man of my word.

Being a success at work is not worth it if it means being a failure at home.

I’ve always liked older ladies, ever since my mother would have B’nai B’rith at our house.

I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.

Fragrance is my favorite thing. So much so that if I leave the house and I don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.

I think when I bought a house, that’s when I thought I felt like that’s a grown up thing to do.

A long time ago I came to realize that no matter where I am no distance I could go can ever make my heart forget you’ve made a home inside my soul.
