I have to always make sure I don't stay in one place and spend too much time one subject. I have my wife tell me [through an earpiece], "Come back! You're taking too long on that subject." I need to be reeled in.

I'm addicted to perfection. Problem with my life is I was always also addicted to chaos. Perfect chaos.

Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.

I'm not Mother Teresa, but I'm not Charles Manson, either.

Boxing is an ego-driven sport. The idea is to not get too personal or emotional with it. You just know when it's over, it's over, and that's it.

I'm a man. I lived it and I'm not afraid to die but when I die I'm going to paradise and I'm not worried.

I was very dedicated and serious about fighting. I'd read about all the fighters. I found out where they came from, knew about their mothers and their fathers . . . I just read all about their lives, their training.
