I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me.

You don't play boxing. You really don't. You play golf, you play tennis, but you don't play boxing.

When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty.

I saw Todd Bridges talk about being abused on Oprah. Something that he said, or an expression that he made that gave me that little boost I needed to be open about it and to talk about it as transparently as I did. When I told my wife, she couldn't believe it. She was petrified, because it's such a no-no, taboo, a hands-off subject. But I'd have to say hearing Todd Bridges on Oprah was my watershed moment.

We're all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head.

I've always been quiet and kind of shy. I'm sociable, but I would probably migrate to a corner.

My toughest fight was myself. For me to disclose and let things out was not easy because we don't want to seem weak or like we are different, but I learned that it's okay.
