I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a << racial epithet >>.

I didn't run with a gang - I didn't have time. There were a few little street gangs sitting in the spotlights at night time - talking and playing marbles. But I was so wrapped up in boxing since I was 12.

I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.

We can't be brave without fear.

What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems

There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
