Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.

I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.

I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.

Comeback is a good word, man.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

I'm an old broken down piece of meat and I deserve to be all alone . . .

People are always afraid of the truth.

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

Everybody dies. It’s no risk to lose your life. You knew it was lost from the beginning.

If you've had a good time playing the game you're a winner even if you lose.

God chooses the weak to qualify for His purpose.

The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye.

America's doctors, nurses and medical researchers are the best in the world, but our health care system is broken.

I have a very pop voice, but there's so much of me I associate mostly with urban music, so I try to blend the two.

Commercial rap get the gun clap, day after day.

Money is the counter that enables life to be lived socially; it is life as truly as sovereigns and banknotes are money.

The empty swing set reminds us of this-- that bad won't be bad forever, and what is good can sometimes last a long, long time.

My schedule has not calmed down, but I'm definitely not so devastated as I used to be. Definitely cooler now. A lot of blessings have fallen into my lap, and I'm very thankful to receive all of them.
