I was hoping he would get up so I could hit him again and keep him down.

People love you when you're successful, but if you're not, who really cares about you?

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

I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.

I'm scared every time I go into the ring, but it's how you handle it. What you have to do is plant your feet, bite down on your mouthpiece and say, 'Let's go.'

I'm doing what great artists before me did, like Judy Garland, Sammy Davis, Eddie Cantor. I'm doing what they were doing, not at their level yet, but one day I will be. I'm just happy to be in their company.

You never lose until you actually give up.
