Common sense is so very simple but very difficult to grasp.

I like the hip writers: Fitzgerald, the guy who committed suicide, Hemingway, all those guys. Some of them were alcoholics and drug addicts but they had fun. They were real people. They formed the culture of American literature. Hemingway admired Tolstoy, Tolstoy admired Pushkin, and Mailer admired Hemingway. It all flows down. The greats are all connected. One day I'm gonna write a book myself. The first chapter will be about what a rough deal my momma got. She believed in you guys and your society.

My objective is to destroy anybody over 200 pounds, in the ring or out.

I try my best to learn from other people's mistakes. I have a lot of respect for people who can change.

Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.

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