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.

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.

Emotion is more than just anger. When I am performing, I need emotion, but I need control, too. Emotion drives the best performance and is necessary, but it must be controlled. I believe Fedor [Emelianenko] does that. I do too. We may look different in how we do it, but we both do it.

I'm a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.

There's no way I would want to hurt him or bust him up. That's why, for the sake of the family as well as himself, I will take him out in the opening round.

The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.

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