“Well you know it’s dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there’s a lot of killing in politics.”

I live my life like everyday is my last.

I’m not against gay people.

Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.

It’s just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I never compare myself to anybody. I don’t look at my accomplishments compared to anyone. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished in boxing.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.

Nothing personal – I am just doing my job.

I know what poverty is.

I come from a poor family.

Nobody can say that I’m lazy in training.

I’m happy to help people.

My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.

The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it’s boxing. It’s my profession. God always gives me strength.

I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.

I’m doing this for my family and my country.

Delay always breeds danger.

Science is warning us that if we do not quickly reduce the global warming pollution that is trapping so much of the heat our planet normally radiates back out of the atmosphere, we are in danger of creating a permanent ‘carbon summer’.

Just in case you get pneumonia or die. The dangerous bits are always the last days of shooting.

Cheap little rhymes A cheap little tune Are sometimes as dangerous As a sliver of the moon.

When composing a verse let there not be a hair’s breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.

In America, I don’t know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we’re in danger.

I think it’s really important to have a life and have interests outside of this [movie] business, and not rely on this business to validate you as a human being. If you do that, you’re really in a dangerous spot.
