I knew boxing before I knew anything else.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.

Everybody is blessed with a certain talent, you have to know what your talent is maximize it and push it to the limit.

I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

Just live every day like it's your last day and be the best person that you can be.

To be the best you have to work overtime.

As long as you know you gave whatever you did 100% you're considered a winner in my book.

I know how I could beat myself: by not being disciplined, by slacking, by not dedicating myself to my craft, by not working hard, by not listening, by thinking I know it all - short like that.

I've done some things that I shouldn't have done but I know I'm not a bad person, and I know that I can become a better person... Only thing I can do is work at it.

If I did want to come back, I was going to make, what, $50 million? You know what; don't call my phone unless you've got $100 million.

A true champion can adapt to anything.

To imagine that I was pleased would have been an understatement, if I was a dog, my tail would be wagging my arse off.

Wide differences of opinion in matters of religious, political, and social belief must exist if conscience and intellect alike are not to be stunted, if there is to be room for healthy growth.

When one woman tells her truth, it makes a space for other women to tell their truths.

Civilization depends on, and civility often requires, the willingness to say, 'What you are doing is none of my business' and 'What I am doing is none of your business.'

The unions still have a job to do, representing their members' interests to governments and parliaments. And I think collective agreements still have a role, alongside markets and laws.

We don't teach kids how to feel, we don't give them the words to go by.

Suffering did different things to different people...Some souls became tempered, unshakable in their faith, while others became twisted and mis-shapen, throwing off all connection to God.

I report the truth of what is happening here in Baghdad and will not apologize for it.

The Mind: a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.

I like being behind the scene.
