I wish my daughters would box. I'm so worried about the guys coming up to them. I would love them to be able to smack a guy right off a bar stool.

Your spiritual sense will make you either a winner or a loser.

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.

Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.

Without love, loyalty, desires, passion, courage, dignities, faith, beliefs and all the other ingredients that go into making the human soul something so elevated that only God knows its limits, we are only shells bobbing aimlessly in a calm sea of mediocrity. ...And if you can figure that out, please write and explain it to me because you're a better man than I am.

If I'd succeeded right away at acting I wouldn't have sought out writing.
