We all have to control our feelings. That's the thing that separates us from animals.

We live in a society where we basically live and strive on what people think about us. We’re more visual people so what we see is basically what we believe which is not necessarily true.

Fade into Bolivian, I guess.

There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.

I just did what I did in my era, basically because of my admiration for the guys who came before me. That's how I've always looked at it. I never thought of boxing like, I'm going to be the greatest fighter ever and make a lot of money. Instead, I thought I was going to win because I learned from the best. I carefully studied the videotapes of all the fighters from the past, dissected their styles, and entered the ring with their spirit.

Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did...That's my biggest regret.

Basically I don't care what people think of me. I'm not in the communications business.
