From my sketch files I'll find a pose that shows the emotion behind a particular character's story.

Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn't going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.

I usually use quick sketches that I accumulated from the figure drawing classes I once instructed.

My trainer, George Francis, used to train a lot of African boxers. They're hungry guys, man. They've got no trainers, got nothing. They're so hungry to do boxing, to make some money.

Journalists have always written that my mum said that I punched a hole through my cot when I was three years old. I don't remember doing that, and I think it was more that I was very energetic.

Color harmony was thrown out years ago, as restrictive chains were broken forming my free style.

I am just working on staying alive.
