I know I have only myself to blame for all the problems I've had in my life.

I ain't never loan friends money; I give it to 'em and I don't expect to get it back. Even when he says, "I'll pay you back," I never expect it. If he gives it back, then hey, that's a feather in his cap, but I don't expect to get it back.

I had it in my mind: to be confident, and to keep saying that until the confidence appeared. But I took it too far. Confidence did help make me champion, but, man, I took it to a whole different level. I was a megalomaniac. I was not humble and it eventually came back on me. So I want my kids to know, keep humbleness and kindness in their hearts. It will prevail.

People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people.

I'm not much for talking. You know what I do. I put guys in body bags when I'm right.

I don't think boxing took more from me then I got in return. It gave me everything that I took from it. It was all fair.

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