Brooding over blunders is the biggest blunder.

Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.

I had to prove you could be a new kind of black man. I had to show the world.

I do need publicity but not for what I do for good. I need publicity for my book. I need publicity for my fights. I need publicity for my movie but not for helping people. Then it is no longer sincere.

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

We cannot change the Koran or make no modifications, this cannot be done, or it would no longer be holy.

I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.
