I tried to stay away from King. You can't do it. It's like staying away from taxes. Sooner or later, he'll get you.
I think I'll take a bath in his blood.
I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.
I live for the moment to hit people.
You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.
Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind. He sometimes goes insane, he sometimes goes on the bottle, because it's an intensive pressure sport that allows people to just lose it.
People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.
King has big offices, houses, and he pays his fighters a lot of money. An, because he's black, the FBI figures he must be doing something crooked.
I just don't have the desire no more, I don't have the stomach to do it no more. I don't even kill insects in my house. I just don't kill anything no more. I used to kill pigeons, rip their heads off, 'You dirty rat pigeon!' I don't even have the heart to kill an animal no more. I just changed my whole life in general. That probably could have changed the way I fight.
Confidence breeds success & success breeds confidence... Confidence applied properly surpasses genius.
I know how hard it is to be a woman, especially a black woman.
We're all going to have tests in our life... We never know when that test comes, but we know we have to be prepared for it. We're all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.
I'm the most brutal and ruthless conquerer there has ever been.
I may have smoked too much weed, but I wasn't taking drugs or anything.
