“I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.”

For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country.

Theres 3 things you need to remember in boxing, work hard, work harder, and work hardest

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I want to be the best fighter. I would like to fight in the biggest fights.

I’m always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it’s because boxing is my passion.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds – I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

You’re still my idol.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

I’ve already established my (political)machinery. It’s like a car. It’s fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

You will begin to see your life as an opportunity to share the special gift you alone can bestow upon the world.

It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.

It is not necessary to accept the choices handed down to you by life as you know it.

I’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

Even though I’m a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.

You don’t see the struggle part of a person’s life. You only see the success they have.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’
