I am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at 4:00 in the afternoon, I'd be a college graduate today.

That gal's all skull and no brains. She's like Joe Frazier with lipstick.

I know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.

As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.

Its very important that people know that I really enjoy everything that has happened to me. And I tell my kids... youre not going to be the tallest, fastest, prettiest, the best track runner, but you can be the nicest human being that someone has ever met in their life. And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.
