I am the most ruthless, brutal champion ever. There is no one who can match me. I want your heart. I want to eat your children.

Everybody has a gameplan until he gets hit

The only thing I do is just pray for inspiration, for a way of thinking, because I don't have any particular goal in sight.

These books ain't window dressing. I think Machiavelli's the most sophisticated writer outside of Shakespeare. Way ahead of his time. Such a manipulative person. Everything he accomplished he did by kissin' ass.

I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin (his wife). When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big Silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined.

Common sense is so very simple but very difficult to grasp.
