“I like to look good, my friend.”

People like to blame others. I think a person should just look at their own situation, look around them, find out what they wish to do, and seek and go and do that. And that’s it.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.

Clean fighting solves everything. It ends all bad blood and any ill feelings people have. That’s my thoughts.

When I am free to train and free to move, I feel like a gorilla in the jungle. Then, when there are a bunch of media obligations, I feel like I have been captured and am being kept on display.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

Any top-level athlete, it’s always the same. There’s always that hint of arrogance there… It’s hard to be humble when you’re the best.

Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.

To do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‘OK, I’m done.’ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going.

I train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.

I have a self-defense mind. I’ve had it all my life.

I want to negotiate what I’m worth. I want to put my analytics forward, man-to-man, and to be like, ‘This is what I’m owed now. Pay me.’ And then we can talk.

Think deeply about things. Don’t just go along because that’s the way things are or that’s what your friends say. Consider the effects, consider the alternatives, but most importantly, just think.

When I was 11 my friend’s mom made a peanut butter sandwich. I ate the sandwich and was like, ‘I’m never eating anything else again.’ And I still eat peanut butter every day. I would put peanut butter on a steak.

Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.

I’m Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off.

My friends and I were wild and we liked to joy-ride.

Fame is not your friend. It ain’t necessarily your enemy. It is what it is.

I know a lot of friends and family who were Joe Montana fans, where it didn’t matter how well Steve Young did. They weren’t going to cheer for him because he wasn’t Joe Montana.

Animals keep you company when you’re really lonely. It helps because when you have a friend around who always likes you no matter what – it’s harder to feel bad or down.
