“I work on my technique, but when I do a video, I want people to be amazed by the speed or the power. The casual fans don’t care if your hands are up or your hands are down.”

Canelo has experience and is a superstar. He’s showed me a lot as a mentor. It’s the biggest blessing that I can have.

Everything takes a vision and I have a very definitive vision of what my future will be like, in the ring and then outside of it.

I want to become a movie director and win an Academy Award. That’s what I’m trying to do.

I’m looking to expand my brand everywhere. I want to be worldwide, I want to reach the world.

My mom is the Kris Jenner of boxing.

The Velez fight wasn’t my best.

I’m learning along the way, and there’s going to be some little bumps and bruises, but as long as I keep rolling with the punches, I will keep moving up.

I know I need a work ethic to match my talent.

My family and I grew up watching and admiring Oscar De La Hoya and to now be fighting under his promotional banner is a dream come true.

Whenever you get nervous about anything, start dancing. You’ll feel better.

People love positivity, and I think that’s what I show.

At the end of the day, you can have all the talent in the world. But if you don’t put in the work, nothing works. The engine doesn’t start going. It’s a car without gas.

I listen to Frank Sinatra before my fight a lot, and I also listen to Orisha music, so both of those, I need, it’s weird. It’s a weird combination.

I’m a go-getter. Everything I say I’m going to do, I don’t stop until I do it.

If people wanted to fight me in the garage, then bring them on, and I will fight them in the garage.

For a million-dollar cheque I would punch Jake Paul.

If you ever want to be interrogated, get Michael Shannon to do it. He’s an amazing man. I loved working with him.

I think the fact that I made enough noise in the world that I might be remembered is an amazing achievement. You can’t ask for more than that.

Iowa is an amazing place. But I didn’t have much race around me. I was definitely not like everyone there.

I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.

Written words still have the amazing power to bring out the best and worst of human nature

I saw Frank Frazetta’s art, and it seared on my memory. I love his paintings. They’re so amazing.

Amazing, obviously. She’s been my idol since I re-enacted ‘Titanic’ and fell in love with Leo. And it’s a privilege to be called the next anything. But I suppose to be the next you is all you can do.

The amazing thing about love is that it is the best way to get to know ourselves.
