God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.

You have to have a bunch of dimensions [of yourself]. You have to be able to adapt in this world. You can't be a nice guy living in a world of savages.

Most writers, in my opinion, are dysfunctional derelicts.

I think the average person thinks I'm a nut and I deserve whatever happens to me.

[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything.

There's nothing wrong with making mistakes, just don't make the same ones. We don't want to duplicate them.

I just have this thing inside me that wants to eat and conquer. Maybe it's egotistical, but I have it in me. I don't want to be a tycoon. I just want to conquer people and their souls.
