“Sex. In America an obsession. In other parts of the world a fact.”

Grumbling is the death of love.

I am at heart a gentleman.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

Darling, the legs aren’t so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

Obsession is a young man’s game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga. I saw her at the Alexander Wang fashion show after-party, and I think she’s the nicest person ever.

I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano.

The only thing that I’m obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

I just need to do Pac’s work. I just need to. Maybe because I’m a recovering addict, I’m obsessed like that.

In boxing, it is about the obsession of getting the most from yourself: wanting to dominate the world like a hungry young lion.
