Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

When boxers are in the ring, they're simple. It's when the fight is over, that's when the other fight, the real fight, begins. That's the problem.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

I know I'm incredibly unpredictable, and that's the only thing I'm sure of.

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.

At the end of the day, 'Rocky' is a love story, and he could never have reached the final bell without Adrian.

I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man.
