Boxing is changing and training methods are slowly being dragged into the 21st century.

Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That's when it's so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.

Work hard, think fast and you'll last.

A pit bull is like a fighter. Every so often it needs to taste blood.

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.

If somebody had told me in the 1980s that Gerry Adams would shake hands with Ian Paisley or Peter Robinson I would have said put that man in a white suit and lock him up in a padded cell.

What I would say about Barney Eastwood is that when our relationship worked, it worked extremely well. He had a lot of strengths as a promoter and a manager.

I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.

I wanted to bring people together, and most importantly not feel threatened when they came to watch me box.

I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.

I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.

Maybe it's a little early. Maybe the time is not quite yet. But those other worlds - promising untold opportunities - beckon. Silently, they orbit the Sun, waiting.

There are many things in life that become different if you take a long look at them.

Being a high school teacher was wonderful, but unsustainable: I needed a way out.

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need your assitance I'll call you." Capt. Wolf Larsen

That's the definition of a mini-series. A mini-series is a show that has no continuing story or narrative elements between one group of episodes and another, so no, I wasn't surprised.

Freedom and independence form my character.

Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. Theres whole swathes of stuff we cant account for.

I think sometimes maybe you're going to connect with the audience more than others, but the journey is about getting all there is to get out of this group of people.
