When I was about 8 or 9, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn't have electricity.

When I step in the ring, I bring everything I have.

I got a granite chin.

People always say, "I don't mean to do this . . . ," and then they do it! If you don't mean to touch on something, then don't touch on it. That's how I feel.

If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

Some pay to see me win, some pay to see me lose, but they all pay.

In the end, you have to protect yourself at all times.
