I'm pretty as a girl.

It all started to come together when I realized that boxing was how I was going to succeed in life.

Lighting that torch in Atlanta didn't make me nervous. Standing up to the government - that made me nervous.

Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.

Number one comes freedom first for my people and equality. And this is what I plan to do after I'm through fighting - working with nothing but the people, the little people in the alleys: the downtrodden people, going out and helping them with my image.

I love my people and I don't hate nobody and it keeps me out of trouble.

White people cannot destroy me like they have other big ministers of Elijah Mohammed in the past by telling us oh, you speak good, you should be the leader.
