I like doing other things. I like getting high, hanging out with my kids. I like drinking. I have so many demons.
Whatever my situation, I'm a strong disciplinarian; I can do what I hate to do but do it like I love it.
Sued King for $100 million, alleging the boxing promoter cheated him out of millions over more than a decade. It was settled out of court for $14 million.
Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.
People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people.
Fear is like fire; it can be helpful if you know how to use. If not, you'll get burned.
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.
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.

I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally.
You think the speed of your fingers can match the strength of my fists?
