There's nothing to fear but fear itself. It's an illusion of fear. Fear is an illusion. If you gonna die, you gonna die anyway; it's not something to fear, fear is not gonna help.

I don't want anyone to have to interview me. I wish I didn't have to talk too much about myself.

March 16th, Mike Tyson [vs.] Razor Ruddock, Razor Ruddock dies. If he doesn't die, it doesn't count. If he's not dead, it doesn't count.

Some people are faster than others; I'm just figuring it out later, that's all. I'm getting smart too late and old too soon.

I sacrifice so much of my life, can I at least get laid?

It doesn’t faze me what anyone says about me. It doesn’t matter what anyone says about me. I’m a totally different entity to what other people think. Michael and Tyson are two different people. I’m Tyson here.

I felt the same fear in my first fight as I did in my last fight. It never goes away.
