Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.

I never tried to be a mercenary or a killer but a hard working fighter.

I came from a dirt farm, now I'm filthy rich.

All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps

Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.

This is the lying thieving mother who cut me $500,000.

There is no quit in me.

Mike Tyson always had a big heart, but one of his problems is that he's short. And he's got kind of a personal attitude. But that don't make him a great fighter.

Now I'm free of him and I'm light as a feather. There's no weight holding me down; I'm ready to spread my wings and fly.

[My] worst habit: Drinking too much Budweiser when I get angry.

It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.

I am crying over the loss of something I never had. How ridiculous. Mourning something that never was – my dashed hopes, dashed dreams, and my soured expectations.

Even the smallest changes in our daily routine can create incredible ripple effects that expand our vision of what is possible.

The mind will always take on an order conforming to that upon which it concentrates.

Behind each and every difficult mountain is an easy valley. Keep climbing

Some men, like spaniels, will only fawn the more when repulsed, but will pay little heed to a friendly caress.

I'm not a sociologist, I'm not a political scientist, but I'm a fairly intuitive person.

I try to keep performing as much as possible - I just like to. I used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now I just like to do stand-up gigs as much as I can.

Cut the pie any way you like, "meanings" just ain't in the head!

I love a great conspiracy story. Who doesnt?

My calling, as one imperfect human, is to celebrate and uphold life every time I get the chance.
