“There’s no future in our past. Just experience. We want to return to it, but we don’t want to close the door on it either.”

Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.

I don’t react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don’t care about anything. It’s just too hard for me to get emotional. I can’t cry no more.

In order for me to achieve… I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

You stand your ground and you perform your art. That’s what the artist does. The artist is about perfection.

You can’t be disturbed by anything. There’s no emotion involved. You can’t feel sorrow, you can’t feel pity, there’s nothing you feel. The job has to be done.

The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone’s not true with themselves.

Money is my God. If you think God will help you then quit your job and see how much he cares.

We’re all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.

A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.

You need to learn independence. You have to be independent – it builds character.

We all have struggles in life but we have to continue to fight.

I’ve learned one thing: you can only really get to know a person after a row. Only then can you judge their true character!

All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that ever happened to us is an ingredient.

For the anointed, traditions are likely to be seen as the dead hand of the past, relics of a less enlightened age, and not as the distilled experience of millions who faced similar human vicissitudes before.

I love that my friends are sometimes even 20, 30 years older than me – that I can just sit and enjoy their company and their experiences.

The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience.

If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.

If done right, kidnapping can be a positive experience for everyone.
