I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Mike TysonThere are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.
Mike TysonI 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.
