Man, I've been to jail. It was hell in there, but I survived, If they put me back, I'll come out again. I'm one of the world's great survivors. I'll always survive because I've got the right combination of wit, grit and bullshit.

I'm a promoter of the people for the people and by the people and my magic lies in my people ties.

I am the living attestation of the American dream. I am the extolment of this great nation.

Only in America can a Barack Obama happen. Only in America can a Don King happen.

I am a product of a rat and roach infested black ghetto. It is easy for me to rationalize my dealings as a numbers man. I'll defend men today who are involved in it.

It ain't about if he knocks a guy out. It's about how he knocks a guy out. It's the style, the improvisation.
