People sold everything - their cars, their land for miles, to come in and see me beat. I went to the bank laughing every time.

You can't keep your mind on fighting when you're thinking about a woman. You can't keep your concentration. You feel like sleeping all the time.

I can't believe some of the things I did.Can't believe it. Sayin' I was the greatest and the beautifulist and I was gonna whup this guy and that guy, sayin' I'm pretty, I can't be beat.

I sought the advice and cooperation from all those around me- but not permission.

Prejudice comes from being in the dark; sunlight disinfects it.

It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
