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

Clichés are what good writing is all about. Because our lives are basically clichés.

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

You are what you leave behind.

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.

I'm a patriot of the heart.

I know I can't play funny roles in movies. I tried, and it didn't work.
