Self-preservation is an important thing to me.

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

You know, as a young child, I lay in my bedroom and I swore to myself then: 'I'm not going to smoke and I'm not going to drink.' And I said I'm not going to just say that when I'm a kid. I'm going to stick to that as an adult. I kept that in mind my whole life.

Sometimes, people say certain things about me that are negative, but that's no problem. I try to take their negative and turn it to a positive. That's why I like to surround myself with positive people.

Floyd Mayweather is in the sport to give great performances.

Boxing is what pays my bills.

People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.
