Mike TysonWhen you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happinessโฆIโve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.
Mike TysonThe drug dealers, they sympathize with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character.
Mike TysonYou canโt be disturbed by anything. Thereโs no emotion involved. You canโt feel sorrow, you canโt feel pity, thereโs nothing you feel. The job has to be done.
Mike TysonI 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.
