There is no quit in me.

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.

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.

Nothing, indeed, but the possession of some power can with any certainty discover what at the bottom is the true character of any man.

I play mostly bad guys on TV and mostly good guys in movies.

He has lost his left arm, but I my right.

Taxation of earnings from labor is on a par with forced labor.
