“If you quit every time things don’t go your way, then you’ll be quitting all through your life.”

I lived in a project and didn’t have a good education. But, I’d listen to the preacher, who said that God would show me the way. Everything starts from that confidence.

Well, number one I like dancing. Number two I knew it would be challenging because I had never done this type of dance before. I always wanted to and I happened to have the courage to go out there and give it my best shot.

Stay on your toes and always move forward.

He listens to his trainer real good. He just doesn’t listen to me. I still can’t get him to do nothing.

As far as working out, I know exactly what I’m doing.

Every time someone starts talking about weight, it takes away from the fight. No one is born at that weight. We grew into that weight. It is all about the challenge, more so than the weight.

I got three whippings a day from my mama.

When you do not change up a lot, people may know you a lot better than they should.

The word of God steadies me. He says your trials and tribulations make you who you are. So you can see my whole story in the way I endured and overcame some testing experiences.

When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.

I’ve had a great life following my faith and my instincts.

A champion shows who he is by what he does.

I think my whole living in vain involves me. I know that the biggest help for me is to help someone else in so many different ways.

The game’s been good to me and I hope I’ve been good to the game. I’m 50 years old and I’ve pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing.

Either I believe I can be the best heavyweight fighter in the world and beat everyone, or I will not. I feel I can beat everyone as a heavyweight.

When you have a sound mind, you can do what’s necessary.

I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while

Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: not on what you don’t want.

A man is what a woman makes him and a woman makes herself.

Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.
